Today, I am struggling with exhaustion due to insomnia. The reason I cannot sleep is crippling anxiety - not about my complicated romantic situation, my pileup of work, or even my relationship with my father. No, I'm afraid of a blind ship captain I saw in a dream three days ago. FML

But if you think about it, the blind ship captain you see in your dreams could be an archetype of the anxiety you're not facing in your daily life. Now that's deep!

I have AD as well, and it's really hard to live with. But meditation helped me a lot especially before sleeping. Look some on YouTube and good luck. Hope you feel better.

That's what happens when you eat cap'n krunch before bedtime! On a more serious note I'm sure it will pass and FYL

In the OP's defense, that does sound pretty terrifying.

Try to do some meditation before going to bed. It really helps.

One word, zopiclone. Get some from your doctor, will sort out anxiety related insomnia.

It has been over ten years since I have crossed paths with a similar fellow in a dream. The anxiety and ensuing obsession is understood. I assume the dream did not end in a satisfactory manner, or that it was more of a nightmare for you. The former can be resolved or let go, the latter may require some personal reassurance.

Call me mean but I am one of the "you deserve it" people. Quit bitching about your life and fix it.

No, you're one of those assholes with no empathy for other human beings, especially those suffering from mental illness. Congrats, you miserable child.
