what does counting large numbers in my dream mean?

Question

ok so every now and then...usually when i have a fever i fall asleep and i have dreams of me attempting to count something(not really numbers) but just count lots of things...the amount ends up gettin too large and i feel overwhelmed...like as if its almost impossible to count this amount of anything...it would be like someone asking you to count every single ant in the world one by one...it just becomes to much for me in my dream and i go crazy...which results in me waking up sweating and panting and breathing hard...sometimes i will still wonder around the house still thinking of the amount that i was counting and cringing in overwhelmess(lack of better word) until i calm down...is this just a fever dream? does anyone have the same problem?

Answer 1

this dream might represent underlying OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)

Answer 2

Usually things you dream are what YOU think they are. So...if you analyze what you just said, you can figure out what counting large numbers in YOUR dream means.

Especially if you think in terms of the words you used describing your feelings: overwhelmed, impossible, becomes too much, crazy, waking, sweating panting breathing hard...Counting produces effects on the dreamer's brain (and to a lesser extent, body) remarkably similar to the physiological effects that are produced by actual experiences of the corresponding events while awake.

Can you think of the specific number where you were when you woke up? That might be significant; otherwise you might look at your finances. Do you feel overextended, financially or in any other way? Does the counting reflect anything that happened in a waking moment?

To me it seems like a financial stress dream, (have you taken on any new loans or financial responsibilities?) but what others think is irrelevant. What do you think it means to you?

Answer 3

Are you stressed about anything?
It seems to me that you must be really stressed about sth. Deal with it
