Same dream over and over again Posted: 05-21-08 23:36pm
Hello Everyone
I had graduated from undergrad 8 years
back and I passed out with distinction,
but I always dream that I had failed in
more than 3 to 4 subjects and I am trying
to commit suicide. I will have this dream
at least once a month usually during early
morning hours (3AM to 5AM), Afterwards my
heart starts beating harder and faster
and my head hurts really bad. To overcome
this pain I usually drink a strong cup of
coffee with tylenol.
I had completed my post graduation in
Engg, but how much ever I try.. I can
never get rid of this dream. I am scared
of becoming mad?? What’s happening to
me? Do I need to visit psychiatrist?
PN: - I used to have this dream regularly
in my undergrad and the same dream is
occurring again for past two years?

I think this may be stress related. Our
brains go into dream states and in this
state we are able to release thoughts that
we have had during the day or events
during the day will play out in our
dreams. I think of dreaming as the brain's
way of rewinding the tape so it will be
ready for the next day. This is very
simplistic but there is some indication
that dreaming does this. A psychologist
may be the best person to help you. You
may be playing out stress that you feel
through your dream. This is actually quite
common. Many people will experience the
same dream over and over. There are dream
specialist. Google search them. A
psychologist would be a good place to
start.

When I was going to college, I kept having
a dream that I forgot what my classes were
and I knew I was going to be late. In my
dream, I always feared that I wouldn't
make it in time and I would be dropped
from the class.
I still have dreams like this and I have
been out of school for a year. But, the
dreams were more frequent when I was still
a student. I think I've only had 2 or 3 of
these dreams since I graduated. Are these
dreams occuring more frequently than
before or about the same or less? I think
in time they will go away. For me, it was
stress. Since I no longer stress about
being a student, I am having this dream
less and less.
