Nightmare/stutter Hello guys! About 3 years ago , i had a really bad nightmare because I had to make a presentation the next day. I dreamed of all these fake imaginary scenarios where I stutter, people laugh and nobody wants to listen. (I made that presentation and was good) so after that even though i always worry about public speaking I never had that kind of nightmares. UNTIL TODAY, so i just had to make a phone call and tell them “ the papers are ready, when i should bring them” and omg the nightmares were horrible, i could not type the number and if i called i could say a word, the alarm rang at 10 , but i was like still continuing sleeping because i did not want to deal with it. When i woke up i called after 10 minute, because the anxiety was killing me, i stuttered but the person got what i wanted to say. Did you guys ever experienced the same ? Any tips?
