I’m still being haunted by dreams of having to take a math test and it’s been many years since high school! Second most common dream, I’m lost in an endless corridor of rooms that keep winding around and around and I have to get somewhere but I can’t.
Over the years I have learned that I can stop having bad dreams while I’m in the middle of them. I just remind myself that it’s a dream, not reality, and that I can wake up and stop the bad that’s around me. It works.
Hallways, doors, stairs, hallways, doors, stairs... it’s now a cue for me that I’m dreaming.
I’ve had recurring dreams of being chased and taking a flight of stairs only to find at the landing, the second set of stairs is missing so I can’t get to the next floor down.
So I have to go back up the way I came.
“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.
