High Anxiety

OK, Orientation is this Weds. evening and the anxiety and nightmares are beginning!

:eek:

I woke up at about 4:30 this morning after having a most horrific dream.

I dreamt that I had the first day of class and they gave us a syllabus and class schedule that was about 2 inches thick and they broke down the daily readings for us and it was about 300 pages of material a day.

I just stayed in bed with all of my books around me because all I would do is wake up in the AM, sit in bed and read until night time and then go to sleep and do the same thing the next day.

Then, my husband left me because he never saw me and I was always studying. He ended up leaving me for some guy that acted and looked like "Mango" off of Saturday night live.

Here I was so proud because I didn't have any weird dreams to talk about on the Nursing School weird dreams post then this happens.

It took forever to get back to sleep again. I'm really hoping this doesn't happen every night.

I read this post the other day and thought "how silly". Well, low and behold I had a dream last night that I went to my first day of nursing class and I was not on the roster when the instructor called roll. At the end of roll call she asked if there was anyone there who's name she didn't call and I stood up and announced myself. The insturctor then stated that they made a mistake when they sent me my acceptance letter, and that I would not be accepted until the following year. I refused to leave and had to have security escort me from the classroom. It was so awful.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

OMG, that's too good !!! That's just exactly what I would have dreamed, too ! "me, LEAVE??? H*** NO I'm not leaving!!! I'm staying right here and I'm going to class if I have to sit in a chair nailed to the wall up there if you don't have anymore room... but I'm HERE and I AIN'T LEAVIN" !!!! :roll

(sorry to peep in on your forum... but I do enjoy the students, and love to encourage and motivate where I can)... so HERE'S TO ALL THE NEW FALL SEMESTER STUDENTS!!! WooooooooooooT ! :D

I'm having dreams too... I can never remember exactly what I have dreamt when I wake up but my heart is pounding and I feel really anxious so I bet it was something related to my stressful life situation (new school, new job, new home... etc). :(

Hope they stop when I start getting used to my new life...

I'm going on Level 2 and I still feel somewhat the same. Things get better. Now, when classes start that will be a different story. I'll end up with face break-out, weight gain "and" the hershey problem, all at once. In regards to heart rate and etc. I remember my VS checkoff. My Pulse was well over 100 and experienced uncontrolable shaking. It's hard to take a pulse when you are shaking so hard you can't feel it.... Things do get easier but, wow!! I thought they were going to have to haul me to an the ER.

I tend to have weird dreams when I eat late at night.. Excercise does help... Me and Hubby go bike riding every night. This helps me sleep and I get to spend time with him (since school will take up most of our time..)

I'm kinda nervous cause I'm not sure what to expect, but I love change.. It keeps life more interesting and fun! :0)

I just got my syllabus, and it IS 2 inches thick! It has me very nervous now!

I have also had the nursing program nightmares and class doesn't start until Monday!

It happens after I eat before bedtime, so I make sure not to sleep on a full stomach.

I know it will be ok because I had the same dreams when taking A&P.
