dreaming about social situations

[gustavofring]

Whenever I dream, usually a lot of faces from my past pop up, old friends from school, old classmates, people long forgotten. And they're all mixed together, during a giant group situation (like a big school trip/holiday or something).

This is a recurring dream and I usually feel really exhausted. It's like my lack of a more active social life tries to subconciously make up for it through dreams.
Also I feel like I try to make up for old painful situations in these dreams.

Does anyone else have this?

Oh yes, I tend to dream about all kinds of people I used to know but we drifted apart and we are all together on this trip (I never quite know where). I seem to be talking to everyone in the dream but I got no clue on why it happens...kind of makes me sad when I wake up though.

Funny that you have the same dreams. There's also some imaginary people in there who I think represent those people I was interested in befriending in but my timidness and feeling inferior to others prevented it.

I think these dreams represent the hidden social me, that was always dying to get out.

I also feel sad when I wake up since the dream world was so much better then reality.

I don't dream much or I don't remember my dreams but occasionally I have similar dreams as you ,meeting with old friends in some kind of social event/gathering.

I have one kinda like that from time to time and it's very embarassing; but in the dream I usually do what I have always done and flee the situation and hide in a bathroom, but somehow they follow me and I wake up with a little bit of a bladder issue (Not full on wetting the bed, just a small amount that wakes me up.) I'm just glad most of the time I reach sleep, I am so tired I don't have dreams and this isn't a major issue. Anyone else have this issue?
