Stress Dreams

I think I've mentioned before what I've taken to calling "stress dreams".  Like, stressful, not happy, upsetting dreams that seem to happen in the mornings (rather than a nightmare that wakes you in the middle of the night) and that often take half a day to "get over".

So the one I have the other day suggests I don't have a lot of faith in my supervisor (don't talk about work) but also a random friend I haven't spoken to in years.

But these dreams hardly ever make real sense so here goes.

I was in highschool (thanks to the show I'm sure) kind of but as an adult and a kid (? teen?) I knew fell on the floor outside of a class.  The teacher (my old friend) said they were joking and closed the door on them.  (I was surprised at this behaviour by my friend, and surprised that my brain thought this about them, but ok.)  I took the guy's pulse (not sure why?) and it was racing like SUPER SUPER fast so I went to my supervisor (were they the principal?  sure?) and said we needed to call 911 but we were apparently in the states where you can't just call for an ambulance and go to the hospital due to cost and that part of the dream is also weird, and so my supervisor was like uhhhhh no.  And of course this was upsetting.  I went back to check on the person and they were upright again and I asked if they had heart problems and they said yes and were on a bunch of medication and like all in all the dream doesn't make sense but the feeling I got from it was one of "ahhh I can't trust them" and no I'm not really sure where that came from and don't talk about work so lalalalalalala but brains are weird and I always think dreams are ways of "getting rid of" stress stuff so maybe I'm struggling at work in ways I'm not completely aware of?  Or maybe this tv show is just spinning around in my brain and my brain is making up stories.

But yeah, I'd like a few calm sleeps now, thanks in advance!
