Panic dreams of losing my wedding ring, and I'm wearing it in bed?

Does anyone else experience panic or anxiety nightmares where you think you lost your wedding ring, and you are wearing it? I feel like during sleep my fingers feel for the ring, and doesn't feel it and then I start dreaming that I have lost it. I wake up in a panic, heart racing, and I immediatly feel or look for my ring in bed. Sometimes I wake up gasping, but I have been tested for sleep apnea and it was negative.

I’m curious about what you are saying, did you lose someone very close to you? I asked this question because it’s your wedding ring you keep losing in your dreams. I lost my husband years ago and for a long time I would have a dream about either losing my purse where I keep important things, the other dream was that my teeth were breaking like they were made of chalk which is soft. I found both dreams equally frightening and very confusing so I researched what it could possibly mean, it seems that both situations represented losing control over one’s life, dreams are very complex and often difficult to understand but they are trying to tell you that you’re afraid of loss or change in your life. If the possibilities of what I said are true then you can find help with this but if this doesn’t apply to you then I’m sorry I can’t explain why you’re afraid of losing your wedding ring, I hope that you will find peace and get the answers you need with this.
