How do you know when you’re stressed? As a mental health and wellbeing trainer, part of my work includes talking about ‘early warning signs’. It won’t surprise you to know that dreams – especially nightmares – can be a sign that we’re going through a difficult time.
It’s why InStyle magazine asked me a number of different questions about what stress-related dreams look like. This includes things like the ‘falling’ dream, being naked in public and dreaming a partner is cheating.
The thing about stress is that it affects all of us differently. As I said in the feature, there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’, and what one person finds stressful, another person won’t. But our dreams can provide valuable insight in to what’s really on our minds. You can find some more insight on some common and recurring dreams in the video below.
