I just learned that anxiety dreams are your body remembering the emotions of a traumatic event and helping you process them by separating the event from the emotion. Damn. Last night I had a terrifying anxiety dream--I got to school for a 9:30 exam and realized that there was an earlier exam I had totally forgot about. The emotional experience was brutal. I think this comes from ADHD related trauma of being shamed for my neurodivergency. Has anyone else had anxiety dreams lately?

      Wow I didn't even know that was a thing! But yeah I've had some anxiety dreams lately. My most recent one was about my fiance's aunt coming to our house unannounced and seeing how messy it is šŸ„²

      I had an anxiety dream that my bf cheated on me and we got into a huge argument. The pain I felt when experiencing the dream reminded me of the same pain I felt the day prior when me and my bf had a huge argument.
