Last Night I Watched So Much Ballet I Had an Anxiety Nightmare About It. I Don’t Even Do Ballet.

Yeah, so last night I watched the ballet Coppelia on YouTube. (The one put on by he Bolshoi ballet several years ago, featuring Natalia Osipova who is phenomenal). Then, after enjoying that so thoroughly, I watched a bunch of other videos of Natalia Osipova being an amazing ballerina.

Then, this morning, at 6:00 (which is way earlier than I ever get up, being the unemployed young adult I am), I found myself in a miserable half asleep state, filled with anxiety about…well, I’ll be honest, I don’t remember what exactly aside from it had to do with ballet. I did sign up for an adult ballet class that starts on Saturday, and I’ve been excited all week….I sure hope I’m not getting cold feet.

Anyways, that wasn’t a fun way to start my Thursday. Also, I have to go to the dentist.

Anything like this ever happen to you?

I feel that trips to the dentists are relaxing minus the poking of my teeth.. but I have had a few anxiety dreams lately too, mostly about my server job. I think my brain has been needing a break recently, but luckily I start spring break after my last class today, so I'm excited about that! But often times, when I start something new, I find myself having anxiety dreams. I had an important interview a few weeks ago and had a terrible anxiety dream about that.

I think anxiety dreams are my main type of 'nightmare' dream. It will either be anxiety about something coming up in my life, or it will be one of those where something is going wrong in the dream (e.g. house flooding), but everyone else acts like it's fine, and I am the only one worrying!

Yes those are definitely my nightmares are anxiety dreams. It’s almost always related to something happening in my life! Worst dreams ever lol

I have this happen every now and again. Usually it’s just some stupid work-related dream that makes me upset. 🙄

I did have a dream about being chased and almost bit by a viper last night….but I’m pretty certain that wasn’t work related. Probably just general anxiousness. 🤔

So, was the anxiety you wearing a box designed for cricket, 'cos that might make you start to panic.
