I continuously have dreams where I become dizzy and disorientated. It's the same feeling you experience after being spun around in circles a bunch of times and then you try to walk in a straight line.
Sometimes it happens when being chased in my dreams and other times it can happen even when having a simple harmless happy dream. I'm going about my business in my dream and then suddenly I lose my balance becoming dizzy and regardless of trying to gain control of my body and balance, I'm doomed and often in the dream I fear getting hurt as I can't manage to control my movements. I'm like a staggering drunk in the dream. I eventually wake up from the dream filled with frustration from not being able to overcome this ridiculous Dizzy Spell while dreaming.
Could this be an anxiety attack or symptoms caused by my anxiety?
I searched the net but couldn't find any information regarding these dreams occurring or being related to Anxiety. I did find that people who had been diagnosed with MS or Inner Ear problems had similar experiences while sleeping however, when these people woke up they realised they in fact were experiencing a "Dizzy" spell.
The big difference between them and I, they wake up "Dizzy". When I wake up I'm not. Instead I'm simply frustrated that I keep having this same ridiculous dream. I believe my "Dizzy" dreams are related to anxiety and the feeling of being overwhelmed or out of control on a subconscious level. Perhaps these dreams are simply just bad dreams and mean nothing at all.
I guess I'm really just trying to figure out if any one else suffering from Anxiety Disorders have or are experiencing similar dreams.
