I often dream about my grandparents; even in my dreams, I know they've passed away, but they're somehow alive again. The most common plotline is they're selling their house (which my sister and I grew up in and inherited), forcing my sister and me to move, even though we don't want to. Maybe I'm worried we won't be able to keep the house in this economy?
As a general rule, I find that dreaming of what I'm doing by day means that I'm overdoing it. Particularly a problem when we've been at crunch time at work.
Recurrent dreams have provided me some of the most meaningful keys to therapy breakthroughs I’ve ever had. For example, I know now that when I have dreams (nightmares) about driving my car into a body of water, it’s because my subconscious is telling me that deep down I’m not okay with the choices I’m making in real life, even though my conscious mind has convinced itself that I am. My dreams where my teeth come loose are usually telling me that my waking life anger is actually fear and that I need to cope with my feelings of helplessness if I want relief. There are others, too. My recurring dreams are my truth-tellers.
Used to work for NHDOT, Hwy. Maint.. Plowing in the "pumpkin" (orange truck) truck I have a dream that going down the worse hill in my area (Concord/Pembroke line) my plow & wing and all of my tires fall off, leaving me in the middle of the road with a hundred cars behind, none of us going anywhere. This area of my route was always trouble.
Some years ago I had a recurring dream that I was faced with many tornadoes coming at me and I could not move. At the last minute a friend pulled me out of the path. This went on for months and then stopped. Go figure.

Yeah... a fear of losing those memories sounds like. My old house where I grew up still pops up in my dreams now and again!

That may be!

Oooof, yeah, I will occasionally have the teeth coming loose one. I hate that one!

I appreciate that your "nightmare" dream has to do with inconveniencing
others!
You're right! Biggest fear was that traffic would be backed up for miles!!

I wonder if there was something happening or some particular stress in your life during that time?
