i have the same recurring dream at least 4 or 5 times a week, its always the same and it always waked me out of my sleep with a jolt with the same panic. i think the moods i am in generally in my life does effect how often these dreams come

yeah it is not very good, because it takes ages before i realise it was a dream. as i say it all depends whats happening in my life at the time relationships, friends, money etc etc that kinda stuff
