beetigerEveryone's got recurring dream themes, especially realated to stress or social anxiety, I'd guess. Classics like the "forgetting I had an exam" dream and the "showing up somewhere in my underwear dream" and the basic "falling" dream.
But I've got a version of it that I'm not sure is common, but that shows up for me regularly. It hasn't for a while, but it did again night before last. Details vary, but generally I'm crawling on a busy highway, often naked. Usually the weather's bad, foggy or rainy or humid. I'm never worried that I'm going to be hit -- cars go whizzing by on all sides, but they're just treating me like a slow driver, or ignoring me entirely. They don't honk, and everyone just passes me. The exit ramps are always long, and I'm always tired and frustrated, and I can't stop. Not because anything bad would happen if I stopped, but I'd just be stuck on an exit ramp in the rain, getting more miserable.
I had this dream again, night before last. Maybe this is a good thing. Maybe my mind is doing cleanup, trying to get more back to normal.
