Hi all, I've been having a very bizarre set of dreams for about 6 months now. The general theme of the dreams involve being agonizingly depressed and feeling (psychologically) like everyone neuron in my head was individually being twisted and pinched. In some of the dreams, I'm trying to explain to people that I'm losing my mind and they need to help, which doctors dismiss as "nothing on the EEG," friends dismiss in the way friends always do, etc. I really want to emphasize how horrible this feeling can be in the dream, but I can't even describe it, but it's far more severe than any sort of downer feelings I've experienced while waking.

I'm usually a very kindly person, an optimist, and put others first. I can't understand how I feel so emotionally distraught in a dream when I've never experienced anything of that intensity in real life. Anyone else experienced anything like this?
