This is WAY too true.
Students
Since I started taking anti-anxiety meds about a year ago, I've been barraged with stress dreams.
Don't get me wrong - my stress level when awake is way, way down. And it doesn't really bother me. I'm not stressed or anxious when I wake up, and in general the dreams are more amusing than terrifying. Sometimes I feel like my brain has just stuffed all of my stress and anxiety I used to experience on a daily basis into my dreams, where I can watch them at night in HD format.
Of course that's a total hypothesis on my part, with no medical or psychological expertise at all behind it, and probably dead wrong. It could be any of a thousand different things - the only thing I know for sure is my dreams in the past several months have been whacky.
For example - last night, I was in my parents' old house (which they no longer own) trying to get some water. Only the plumbing wouldn't work.
First thought: "Why doesn't the plumbing work?"
Second thought: "Why am I in my parents' house that they don't even own anymore?"
Third thought: "Why is there an Apache helicopter hovering outside the window?"
Conclusion: "Hmm. This must be a dream."
Well, as long as there is plenty of entertainment value involved, I can't complain.
