I'm 19 right now and I have never had a nightmare or an unpleasant dream in general. Even when I was a kid and I dreamed of things I was scared of, it just wasn't scary in my dreams and they seemed to always turn into good dreams. During waking hours I get very fast, for lack of a better description, ping-pong sensations of fear or anxiety from time to time when I start thinking, but I dont seem to express anything out of the ordinary with my body. I also switch between almost opposite feelings towards things I both enjoy and loathe within just a minute or so.
I just started thinking earlier maybe it has something to do with my lack of bad dreams. Or do you think my strange feelings might just be some kind of delayed angst?

Interpret Your Dreams on this site all the meanings without having to look them up never mind the...Title...of the web-site. http://www.freakydreams.com/ because Good Dreams also can be Interpreted.
Dreaming is a place of possibility and creation, a land of futures that might come and pasts that never were. It is also a land of nightmares.
It constantly changes as people fall asleep and shape parts of it, then wake up and their dreams dissolve back into mist. A dreams dictionary always helps ( for other descriptions needed ). http://myjellybean.com/dream/pagey.html
Did you know you can make yourself dream anything its called...Lucid Dreaming which this site will explains along with some other questions about dreaming. http://www.dreams.ca/

The 'ping-pong' sensations that you describe do sound like anxiety. It's difficult to say whether or not it's related to the fact that you don't think that you have bad dreams (you probably do on occasion but simply do not recall them).
The roots of what you're experiencing could be caused by a great many physical or mental issues... or, perhaps, "some kind of delayed angst" as well. I suppose the only way to find the cause would be to have a complete physical exam done by a physician to rule out any physical problems (probably not the case) and also discuss your "sensations of fear or anxiety" with a professional psychologist... although I'm sure you're probably fine.
Best wishes.

Dreaming is a very deep and powerful thing which most people (shrinks included) no next to nothing about. Despite the fact that everyone does it every night, and many of the most briliant minds credit it with some of their best ideas... people consider it to be unimportant. "It's just a dream..."
If you are serious about understanding and working with your dreams, you should study the dream masters. Dream yoga, Australian Aboriginal techniques, Senoi practices, Taoist Dreamwork etc. The principle aspect is what is known as "lucid dreaming." This is where you know you are dreaming but choose not to wake up. In this state, not only can you find the answers to all of your questions... but you can literally do anything that you can imagine and will to be so.
As for your lack of bad dreams... you probably just don't remember them considering the fact that you are not at peace in your waking life. (the average person only remembers the dreams from the minute or two before waking or less than 1%)
Your anxiety is a seperate issue. And while dreamwork will help, I suggest you begin to practice a simple form of meditation to still your mind for 5 or 10 minutes everyday. Meditation and dreamwork both take time to become good at (or even begin to see the results from), but anything really worth doing requires such effort. Think about how long it took you to walk or talk.

Just becuase you don't remember having bad dreams doesn't mean you haven't had any.
I think you do suffer from anxiety (or perhaps manic depression) from your description but maybe you should talk to someone -- a counsellor or doctor about it.
While dreams are an outlet for feelings and a way to learn I'm not so sure that the apparent "lack" of bad dreams makes such a big difference in your waking life.

no, i dont think it is a lack of bad dreams. maybe it is a chemical imbalance, and yes it could be a delayed angst (that is triggered by the chemical imbalance)

You are almost normal, my dear!! Why do you want to dream bad things? To motivate you or demotvate you?All other feelings you have are part of your growing psyche and it is a transition from toomuch CHILD ego to matured ADULT ego.It is your PARENT ego that creates these temporary confusions and we all have to live with these three ego states till our death!!!!.
