Stress and dreams

Stress at this time of year...who would have thunk it? With the holiday season fast approaching, we tend to put ourselves under a lot of stress, wether it be shopping, decorating, cooking, financial, planning and the all dreaded visit from the in-laws.
According to Laura, the dream Lady, your dreams are built in strees meters and here is what she has to say:

Drowning: This dream means you're in over your head,you're drowning in responsibilities, you're having a hard time keeping on top of things. Sometimes this dream can even mean you are going down into a depression! This dream is telling you that you've got to find time for yourself, you've got to find time to breathe!

BLEEDING: - Blood in a dream - no matter who is bleeding - represents YOUR energy. Dreaming of blood means something or someone is draining you. Ask yourself what you are wasting your energy on. Sometimes this dream means you are bleeding financially. Whether it be energy or money, this dream is telling you that you've got to stop the flow!

HOUSE ON FIRE: A house in a dream symbolizes you. If your dream house is on fire it almost always means your nerves are frazzled and you could be headed for a breakdown. If you're getting this dream, you MUST find a way to calm yourself: lighten your work load, get a massage, or enjoy a glass of Pinot Grigio! ;-).

CAR OUT OF CONTROL: Cars in dreams symbolize the direction you are headed in life or in a particular situation. Not having control of your dream car means you feel like you have no control over what's happening in real life. This dream is a warning that you are headed for an emotional crash if you aren't careful. In my research, I've found that this dream is about trying to control something you have no control over, such as somebody else's behavior or world events. If you're getting this sortof dream, it may mean you need to just let go. Put the breaks on your need to control everything. Life can be a lot more fun if you just allow yourself to go along for the ride sometimes.

MISSING A PLANE OR BUS: What a frantic dream this is!! Perfectionists often get this dream and it is usually caused by deadlines... especially self-imposeddeadlines. This dream will run rampant this season as we prepare for all those holiday gatherings where we must look perfect and all that we prepare must be perfect...and completed in time for the guests to arrive! You can free yourself from this dream if you keep in mind that this season isn't about the food, or the decorations or the perfect gift... it's about the company. If things aren't fully prepared by the time people start showing up, get them in on the fun! Great conversations can happen while mashing potatoes!

Your dreams are an excellent built-in stress meter
It's always important to pay attention to your dreams, especially during times when there is so much to do. Your dreams will keep you in check, they'll warn you when you're about to "lose it," and they'll pat you on the back when you're handling things well. Your dreams are an excellent built-in stress meter so please don't disregard them; you'll be a well balanced, happier person for it.
