Everyone has those recurring bad dreams … what is your nightmare?

Mine is driving across a bridge that spans a deep gorge and suddenly there I am in my car, going through the railing and floating down into oblivion... I always awake right before I crash into the boulder strewn ground. It hits me every now and again and started as best I can remember, in my 20's or maybe early 30's.

I used to have a similar dream a lot. I was standing on a rickety wooden slat bridge with no sides and i cant see the end or what's below. My fear of heights kicks in and i slowly get onto my knees and then end up laying on my front, my cheek pressed against the wood, just totally paralysed by fear and unable to move.
I used to get it a lot when i was in a pretty bad relationship. Since the relationship ended i haven't had the dream since. I often wonder if it was my subconscious picking up on my trapped feelings 🤷🏼‍♀️

@RebelHeart Definitely sounds as if that is it.
