@KatyElphinstone I don't dream often, but when I do they are always different, except for the "feeling".

The feeling of helplessness.

Sometimes the dreams are that I'm at a party or in someone else's house, usually surrounded by people that I don't know, and the "feeling" is of generalized pressure to be "doing something"...yet, because it's a foreign environment it is impossible to know what I'm "supposed" to be doing.

Sometimes there are people that I know in the dream, but there's never an opportunity to ask them.

The pressure to *do* something is something that I experience daily anyway, so I imagine it stems from that.

Thanks puritanical work ethic!

Here's one of mine that I used to have a lot:

(I was amazed when reading Donna Williams' book that she had similar ones to mine!)

I'm somewhere dangerous. On a boat in a storm. Or in a house in an earthquake, crumbling walls etc. There are a few kittens or puppies - occasionally even babies - I'm trying to keep safe and close. In a basket..or under my jacket, etc.

But I can't. It's confusing, with too much going on. They keep escaping, or falling, meowing & crying, & I know they'll die.. 😥
