Grazia's GeorgiaAspinall spoke to dream expert LauriLoewenberg about the nightmares we all seem to be having and how to get rid of them...
. I had three dreams I can remember last night and in all three of them, someone was trying to kill me.dreams of needing to run but not being able to, driving in a car that’s out of control, shouting but no sound coming out – but more often than not, I don’t remember them well once I wake up and can fall right back asleep after a few deep breaths. This time, something is different.
Except I don’t, the door just bursts open and I stand there. It’s a teenage girl, looking at me eyes wide and terrified. She knows police are coming for her and she doesn’t know whether to lunge or run. In the dream, I literally remember feeling sorry for her and saying ‘just give me the knife’, so she does and she runs. I throw it on the floor and realise I’m now a murder suspect for touching it. I wake up.
‘Not long after things started to get more real I had my classic anxiety dream I get sometimes,’ says Emma, 29. ‘I turn up to exams day and realised I’ve not been to any of the classes for the whole term. I now recognise I get a variation on this dream whenever I’m stressed and it made me realise I was probably more worried than I’d thought. Now my dreams are just plain weird, which I think just signals my brain is a bit all over the place, like everyone else.
According to Lauri, typical anxiety dreams usually involve tornados , tidal waves , flooding , house fires or car breaks that don’t work . ‘You run into the bathroom because the bathroom represents cleansing and the ability to flush away negativity and frustrations,’ she continues. ‘But you wind up alone in the cubicle because we are all having to self-isolate. Your sense of time is prominent in the dream because we are all aware of time right now and, like in your dream, it really seems to be dragging!’
