WORK: I've had a recurring dream in which I'm back at work, the job starts getting too oppressive for me, and then I realise that I've been working for free for a year and can quit any time I like without losing my income. Unfortunately I've always woken up before I've had the chance to get really confident and assertive with the bosses and to act like I'm their equal. I think the cause of the dream might be a sense of regret that I spent my whole working life not feeling quite able to say what I thought in case they got rid of me and I lost my income.

The dreams I dislike the most are the ones where I'm out somewhere and I'm looking for a toilet to go to. Either I just can't find one or the ones I do find look weird or have no privacy. It's very frustrating and I wake up needing to pee.

I've also had dreams where I've turned up late to a uni lecture and I can't enter the room. I then miss out on critical information.

FLYING: When I was about 8 or 9 years old I had a dream that I could fly if I flapped my arms and jumped off the top of a rubbish tip. I told an older boy who didn't quite get what I was talking about and showed me the motor of a model aeroplane that he'd got bolted down to a bench. He went on about its technical details. I was disappointed because I meant real flying, not that nerdy substitute for it that he was into. I was also very disappointed when I woke and found I couldn't fly after all.

In a way, the other boy represented the nerdy side of ASD, while I represented something rather more artistic and beautiful. I didn't know about ASD in those days.

often dream about trying to urinate. afraid that i will dream about urinating and then urinate in the bed. has not happened thus far.

dreamt about menstruating.
