I have never been diagnosed with either GAD or depression but the dream thing started around 15 years ago. I am 81 now and nobody has had an answer for the constant dreaming situation. I don't usually have trouble falling asleep but I dream all night every night. If I wake up for any reason when I go back to sleep I start another dream which are very involved. In my dreams I have spoken other languages which I don't. They are extremely vivid. I could have two or three different dreams a night. It's like watching a movie which I am in every scene. I could have some form of mental situation but I have never found out.

Yes. I have described it as kind of living another life in my sleep. Many times, I'm trying to get somewhere or do something on time; trying to get everything done or to get to the destination on time is this anxiety inducing thing. I do not know if it is connected to psychological issues. Something tells me it is more of a physical issue, but I'm no doctor. When I was younger, I used to have these dreams that I would be running or walking to a destination, but it was so hard because I would be walking through knee-high sand or my legs would just become incapable of fast movement, like there was this weight on them. But that was before my dreams became an all night thing. Different languages though, I have never experienced that. Are you somewhere else? Language comes from the left side of the brain, that side of your brain must be activated for that, or I just assume. I have a Master's in Linguistics, which is the only reason I say this. I'm no expert though. Then again nobody is, apparently because it is not studied much.

I am 29 and have had this since childhood. I can wake up and recall my dreams like you say like it was a film. I wake up so exhausted like it has been another life.
