Are you socially anxious whilst in dream-state?

The other night I dreamt about a normal day at Uni. Prior to this occasion, I had never experienced SP or anxious behaviour whilst in dream-state. I found myself going through the whole conversation post-mortem/analysis thing after meeting people in the dream and I was constantly aware that I had a problem. During the dream, some old friends of mine from school kept saying things like 'Your're so quiet' and 'what's the matter?', which only made things worse. I was just wondering whether others are aware of their problem whilst in dream-state. Or are you, in fact, free of your SP issues and are able to act 'normally'?

This is the first time anything like this has happened to me, which I guess is kinda surprsing, considering I have had SP since for about 6 years (I'm 24).

I am very much SA-free in most of my dreams, thank God I have somewhere to escape to. But sometimes I have dreams in slow motion, like I have to be somewhere on time, but I'm moving in slow motion and I start to freak out trying to run I just go slower.

I´m free of SA in dream-state.

But if I had a bad day I often dream with the same. I´m in a big house, crappy one, dirty and full of dust. I live with a lots of people, most of them are friends of mine, the others I dont know.
And I fell this is my house, this is my home, I don´t like but I fell I´m part of it. But deep inside I want to escape from that place.
And theres always a figth betwen me and an old friend, we fight because of very silly things.
I shout as high as I can, but I can´t hear my voice, and that drives me really angry .
I usually awake at the midle of the "battle" with my friend and still with the felling of frustation .

I usually have real bad anxiety dreams where I am surrounded or being critized by people who have given me trouble in the past. I will often wake up in a terrible cold sweat and have trouble going back to sleep. I tend to incoporate everyday fears and anxieties the worst in my dreams. I will go to places in my dreams that I avoid in real life or I dream that the people I trust in my life have some how betrayed me. I believe that's why I try to ward off sleep as long as possible because I cannot get a momments peace from my worries or anxiety even in my dreams. These dreams occur almost everynight and are worse when I have had an especially stressful day.
