I usually do not have unpleasant dreams. Most of my dreams are extremely weird, but in a good way. They hardly ever make me feel unhappy. Once you read this post, it'll probably seem like I have a lot of terrible dreams, which isn't the case.
---------------
Inability to express myself. Sometimes I have dreams where I desperately want to say something, but it takes a huge amount of effort just to open my mouth, let alone say whatever I need to say. (I believe the feelings in this dream were inspired by that one time I had general anesthesia, and I was trying to say that it felt really hard to breathe, but I couldn't manage to say it.)
The same thing happens a bit less often with opening my eyes. I can't keep them open, but I need to see. (One time, I was having a dream like that, and I managed to get up enough effort to quickly open my eyes in my dream...and sometimes, if I make a quick movement in a dream, I twitch in my sleep...so my eyes snapped open in real life, thus ending that dream.)
I also dream about similar concepts, like not being able to go somewhere, get something, contact someone, et cetera. All dreams of this type include a feeling of helplessness.
I haven't had many of those lately. Now I have dreams about other things.
Being lost. One time, I dreamed I had a sub driver taking me to school, except she didn't know the way, and we ended up near an airport in Japan. It sounds funny, but it really didn't feel funny.
Losing people. The worst dream I've ever had was about me moving into my grandparents' apartment unwillingly, and the most prevalent part of the dream was my desperation to tell my friends where I was. I was crying when I woke up.
Going back to South (my old school). During the summer, and for a little bit after the school year started (at my new school), I would occasionally have one recurring dream, which is unusual for me. The dream went like this: I would stand at the front doors of the school, look up at the flag, and feel despair. Then I would walk through the halls, and people would say to me, "I thought you were switching schools?" And then when I got to my first class (which was apparently held in my last year's science classroom), people would just crowd around me and say that, and I'd fall to my knees, cover my head, and scream.
And I think that's basically it. I often have dreams that would seem like they'd be bad dreams, but they're not. Examples include: being chased, falling, being choked, drowning (these ones are actually pretty interesting...I dream I'm underwater, and I can't get back up, and eventually I can't hold my breath any longer, so I take a huge gasp...and discover I can breathe underwater. XD My dad says it probably happens when my face is in my pillow.)
