My recent stress dreams have been entirely related to work (I'm trying to give prospective tenants a tour but the buildings are logistically impossible and we wind up walking through a super-fancy restaurant or a stock exchange instead of an apartment/my office has moved to a new building that's only half-constructed and I can't get to my desk to answer the phone/tenants illegally install a swimming pool in their living room and flood the entire building/etc.) or to libraries/bookstores (I try to find a specific book/specific author/specific section but nothing is in the right place, or the shelves keep moving, or the librarians take all the books away for cleaning/donation, or my library card doesn't work, etc.).
My stress dreams are almost all about repetitive everyday tasks that go wrong, with a strong bent toward "I'm trying to go somewhere and can't get there because Reasons," and it's hard for me to map medical worries onto that template. But I've been having a significantly higher rate of stress dreams than usual over the past few months, so I suspect I may be displacing some pandemic stress into more familiar patterns.
