I’ve always been the type of person who rarely ever dreams. Throughout my life until about a year ago, I would rarely ever get vivid dreams (one or twice a week max)

Until about a year ago, I’ve started dreaming multiple times every single night. And these dreams have been extremely random, though more so in a negative way.

Last night I had a dream where I got into a fight with these random guys and some stranger gave me a knife to go murd3r them. That same night I had a dream where my parents were extremely angry with me for some unknown reason.

The night before that I had a dream my mom went to jail for not stopping when a cop tried to pull over.

These are just some examples. I get these type of dreams all the time and I wake up feeling sad and as if something bad is happening in my life (even though my life is relatively normal and stress-free)

For context, I do not suffer with any diagnosed mental health issues except OCD and maybe ADHD, but I don’t think they’re relevant to my situation.

Also, I started university last September and I’d say this is when these dreams likely started. Could this be a factor?

I’d love to hear your insights

I feel like I was born in a weird and overwhelming era where tech and culture are changing faster than ever, and I wish I'd been born earlier. To those 35+: when you were younger, did the world feel like it was changing just as quickly as it does now, or has the pace genuinely picked up?

I used to love eating little Debbie’s snacks like zebra cakes and Swiss rolls, but I don’t see them anymore in grocery stores. Does anyone know what happened or where I can find them?
