I feel your pain. Those dreams are the worst. I have such a feeling of helplessness because I can't remember why I'm back at work. I go around telling everyone I have CPTSD and a stroke and autism and ADHD and agoraphobia and mutism and that I can't do my job because of a major breakdown. Half the time I'm in my pyjamas and stimming. It's just a terrible dream, the worst type of nightmare for me. I think I'd drop dead of panic if it ever came true.

nightmares for sure. in addition to the work dreams, there were also army dreams [though less nightmarish and more absurdist] where i was always disheveled, a day late and a dollar short of what i needed, always not ready for inspection. but strangely [unlike real life] there were no consequences, i was usually ignored.

Interesting - I think work expectations really do a number on our psyches.

I'll be able to switch from Long Term Disability to retirement in two years or I can delay it longer if I choose, because LTD pays more. I'm not rushing it but I hope that once I retire, the dreams about "being forced to go back" will end. I hope.

i'm glad that you are not stuck here in amuuurica as a citizen, as the present leadership would likely frown on your plans.

I dreamt I was alone in the house sleeping which was the case in reality. Then I woke I heard some noises (which happened in reality). Then I went back to sleep and dreamt that I could hear the garage door being opened. I saw a girl (small perhaps a dwarf) and I knew she was trying to rob the place. I attempted to call 911but as I was dialling she snuck up on me and I didn't want her to be suspicious. I pressed call but i hung up.

So I spoke to her like oh do u want tea etc so she wouldn't realize I kneq she was here to rob and I kept dialling 911 and trying to press call but she kept moving and I didn't want to lose sight of her either. So finally i got a chance to dial and call n whispered to the operator, 'There's someone trying to rob my house and I think she has a weapon.' I had to say it several times as they couldn't hear me

And she was walking around I was worried that she must have heard me speak to the operator on 911 .... then I think the police came. It was very tense

The LTD and pension money are both from my employer, so it's not really a government thing. I suppose I will get some government pension as well but I'm not sure how that works.

I had an absolutely dreadful nightmare last night so if you're easily disturbed stop reading now. This one kept me from getting back to sleep after it woke me up. Thankfully, I can't recall the details, but it started from a perspective of someone at a party with lots of people. After a while someone in another area of the party opened fire and started shooting people and chaos ensued. At some point my perspective switched to a camera someone was holding as they ran around trying to avoid the shooter fleeing through the area and wondered through the carnage that had taken place with gunshots ringing out not far from the location while the cameras vision was reduced as they stumbled and got blood and other stuff smeared across the lens. At some point the shooter got into a gun fight with the police and he gave up. Then I recall the shooter being in cuffs next to some police and the police made the comment that the shooter had been shot in the hand.

Edit: I recall the shooter had dark skin, a purple shirt and his jaw jutted out a bit.

That's a horrible one. Hopefully it was just a dream and not a surreal thing of your soul seeing stuff that actually took place or will take place.

It was just a nightmare, nothing more. I have lots of horrifying nightmares. I had a reoccurring zombie apocalypse nightmare not long ago for instance.

This night I had a lucid dream I couldn't control, the best proof of which was that in this dream I had an intimate relation with... Pikachu :D

I only slept 2.40 am to 5 am and in my dream in that time, I met and spoke crying and everything trying to get her to understand so icould be friendly to her again, to my ex MIl and she never apologized and it was a waste.


And she had two rows of teeth in the dream top and bottom bothwhen she spoke this was noticeable,and some were less tall then they should be...

not in a random way but like she had been grinding her teeth a lot and worn the, down.


and anyway that links back to a dream I had many many years ago in which my mouth was full of glass to hide a glass i had seen broken. I heard her approach so I quickly stuffed the shards in my mòuth.

And then when she spoke to me asking where my Xh was, n I spoke back all the glass pieces fell out and I had no teeth
