I had a dream like that, or I thought it was a dream, in that space of time between being awake and being asleep. I was camping in Jordan, and I looked up on the top of the tent to see a camel spider. I remember thinking: I hope that spider is on the outside of the tent, where is that cat when I need it, and I must be dreaming that spider. I rolled over and went back to sleep. Later my daughter told me that I didn't dream that spider, that she had seen it too.
I have recurring dreams of traveling somewhere or trying to travel somewhere and encountering problems.....

I very frequently have similar dreams as yours. They all involve a time crunch (flight departure, important appointment) and I encounter numerous hinderances trying to be present at the appropriate time and place. Flat tires, Car problems, weather, etc. All things that distract me from achieving the task at hand.
That actually happened to me in about 1962. Winter. Had a 1950 something British Morris Oxford. Junk. Approaching a red light at low speed, brake pedal went to floor with no braking. Immediately pulled emergency brake lever which was on floor between front seats. Broke off in my hand. Plan C was to open door and drag foot. Worked by the Grace!
Have those frequently.
Another embarassing one one is sitting on the porcelain throne in the middle of an elegant cocktail party.
“I have to get somewhere but I can’t.”
That is the basis of most of my dreams. I can’t get to where I’m trying to get to.
Hmmm, were you a big Flintstones fan?
“1) Teeth falling out.”
Not a dream for me ...at 84!😆
They are relevant to one of our other lives on a different time line/reality. Just random leakage - nothing to get concerned about.
“I dream of Jeannie”
.. ..and various others here, all fruitlessly!😎
We spend so much time in H.S. that those types of dreams are common. Mine was returning from a vacation and not remembering my locker combination. But then again, maybe that really happened :)
Or not having enough credits to graduate from college.
I have similar dreams where I have to do something again at my current age that I’ve already done such as high school, Air Force Officers Training School, etc...all decades in the past.
I just dream about sex.
What does it mean, doc?
I have dreamed about shooting people many times,usually I wake up after pulling the trigger or whatever. I had these dreams off and on for years. I have never shot anyone, except I shot my sister in the ass with a BB gun from accross the yard, that BB arched 30 feet in the air.
More women should learn from you.
I’ve had one recurring dream. I’m a child and I’m playing outside by the water pump when I hear the baying of hounds. Looking up I see a pack of black dogs racing down the street toward me. I run to the side door but it’s locked. The dogs are so near now! I run to the back door. Through the pane I see my older brother George. As I reach for the doorknob I hear the click of the lock engaging. Through the glass I see George grinning. The black dogs close in...and I wake up.
I had a dream and in it I was dreaming.
I have maybe one dream a year and it is always in black and white. No color at all. Very boring.
Interesting - thanks for sharing your insights...
