Question:
Almost EVERY dream I’ve had in the past 20-some years has had an element of panic attacks or agoraphobic symptoms in them. I can be in assorted places, doing assorted things, and I invariably have the symptoms of panic and agoraphobia. In every dream I also am in need of taking my meds, however most of the time someone has either stolen them, I’ve lost them or left them somewhere else. Do any of you have repeated dreams which focus on your panic disorder/agoraphobia? gisela angelina — gisela angelina barborka sit.flux enterprises Without opening your door, you can open your heart to the world. – Lao tzu

I’m not sure if this is what you mean, but every dream I have had for as long as I can remember involves something/someone chasing me and/or trying to kill me… In most cases, I’m still calm about the situation, and in my dream, I just take for granted that being chased is a normal part of my life. In some dreams, I’m being chased while I try to look for something, usually an idea or a meaning, or a state of mind. These are probably the results of many, many things, panic/anxiety disorders only partially inspiring them. The weird thing is that even though I’m being chased, unless I am close to being caught, I feel used to it, or maybe resigned to it. Then, when the follower catches me or is within reach, I just barely escape, or I wake up before I know what happens. And I never successfully find whatever it is *I’m* seraching for. Sort of like real life, where I am beginning to think all this stuff swimming in my head is there, for better or worse, and maybe I should get used to it instead of trying to fight it. Or maybe I should find a better way of dealing with it. Hmmmm….. Interesting, eh? I love dreams. Nadine
