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.

My longest reoccurring nightmare (though I rarely dream now) was walking outside with loved ones, and then suddenly finding myself completely alone on a desolate, badly lit street. It’s night and I have no idea where I am and how to get home. Probably doesn’t take much imagination to conclude that it’s a fear of being abandoned. As a child it terrified me, now I just wake up feeling rather sad. 🥺

@bijouxbroussard Still, even if it's just sad, it's not a fun dream. I feel like that's worse than mine... feeling abandoned is a special kind of loneliness.
