    The only recurring dream I have anymore is an ever growing collection of dogs that are in various stages of neglect, some of which are family pets that have since passed away.

    I fucking hate it, there’s never any food to feed them no matter how hard I look and there’s almost always a fight or an escapee that I have to deal with only to be done with that and be missing (or gaining) even more dogs.

    I’m always in a panic when I wake up.

    I’d like to say that I have never neglected a dog, and only have one which I love very much, strangly, she is usually not present in the dog horde.

      Ohhhh I have this one too! Sometimes it’s not dogs or cats, it’s beetles because I raise those. Such a stressful dream-type. :(

      My cat recently passed away, and I get these dreams all the time. It’s always like I’m going about my normal day, and then suddenly he’s there, and my dream self knows he’s gone but I start freaking out. He’s usually in bad shape in the dream and I start feeling really guilty, then I wake up.

        Mine died almost 3 years ago and I still get those. I like seeing him again but it always goes bad at the end.

      That sounds horrid. I’m sorry that’s your stress dream. My fast-food-worker-can’t-keep-up-with-the-rush recurring seems like a dream by comparison.
