Have you ever been in a new place and had to take local transit to get around? Or have to change planes at an airport in a short timeframe? The anxiety of something new. Navigating the different routes. Finding the signage to keep you on the right path. It’s a stressful time, to say the least. Well, I keep having these dreams that I am forced to navigate somewhere new in a hurry. Without my proper research time, I am thrust deep into these imagined city’s transportation systems with no guidance. No GPS navigation. Just me, myself, and the important thing I have to make it to in a rush.

Most recently (and frequently), it’s been subway systems. But I am no stranger to nightmares about buses or even by foot navigation of these foreign places. I find it odd though, as in my waking hours I have not had any realized anxiety about traveling. The dreams are completely unwarranted. Sleeping through these high-stress situations does not prove to be the most relaxing experience. Dreams are weird, I wish I could record them and analyze them in some scientific process. Wonder where my dreams will dash me to next?
