For years I've been plagued with almost exclusively bad dreams, even as my waking life has (up 'till this point, at least) gone reasonably well. Does it have to be this way? Mostly I have recurring versions of two or three basic premises that are easily decipherable: Either I can't quite make it to the airport for a flight I have scheduled, it's the first day of a college semester and I don't know what room/building my classes are in, or I'm in a mall and can't find my companion or way out. Obviously these are pretty basic dreams about anxiety and apprehension that my Celexa prescription can't quite eradicate. But what I'm wondering is, do most of you out there have a majority of anxiety-ridden dreams? Should I just shrug my shoulders and accept this? Or is this something that needs to be addressed? I find it weird to be content with how my life is going and yet be plagued by bad dreams every night. It's pretty often that as I'm about to go to sleep I think to myself, "Can't I for just once dream about flying like a superhero or scoring touchdowns for the Ducks?" I wonder if worrying is the price I pay for the success I've had, or if I need to teach myself to reach that desert mirage of loosening my grip on things just a bit more.
