So the other night I had a dream someone I knew died. I’m freaking out thinking what if it happens ... and I’m thinking of it as if it happens then what if all my bad dreams start happening like a horrible movie. My anxiety is just getting worse with these thoughts.
The reason being a few years ago I had a dream I crashed on a street ... a few months later I ended up on an accident on the same street. My husband says it’s just a coinsedense but the dream I had is making me freak out. Help 🤕😩
Sorry you had such an awful dream Dee. Most people will be shaken with a dream like that but when you suffer anxiety it's like 100 times worse to let it go. I've had them too and i've woken up in tears, texting/check fb to see if they're ok. It's not yet happened someone has died but such is life, they may do at some point and that's out of my control.
The truth is we can never predict what will happen to ourselves or others, but dreams have a way of brining to the forefront our deepest concerns as your brain is trying to process/work it out. Is there a deeper route cause perhaps that you are worrying about?
It's unfortunate you experienced a crash on the same street you dreamt but if you'd had this worry and subconciously you will have been building up an internal fear of this, then it's likely your cognitive state may have been impaired before you even approached it. I had a dream i failed my interview the day before i had it and come my interview i basically flopped in it badly because i'd been worrying about it and ultimately self sabotaged myself. If every dream good or bad came true, you'd have known long before now. Think of all those other dreams that have passed you by without pause to think on it.
I'd suggest trying out a worry tree technique for now, write it all out logically so you can see it in front of you. I know it's hard and extremely unsettling but you are not in control of someone else's fate, only your own. I hope you feel better soon x
