Stress Messes with my Dreams

I noticed lately that my stress level affects the quality of my dreams. Or it could be that Dr. Eggleston brought it up and I realized that this applied to me. Anyway, I've had a lot on my plate lately and was under a little stress, which is why it took a little while to put up this post. The dreams I was having were not clear. I would wake up and realize my dream was real hazy, and I would not feel rested. It seems like I'm through with the little mini storm so hopefully my dreaming will return to normal. It would be real hard to do this project if not.
I do have some good news to report. Before I was under all this stress I had some dreams, and one that I think might be a problem solving dream.

Dream 5
There was a brief cold spell. Every year when it first gets cold a have a period where I cough a lot. Cold air just always made my lungs hurt. It also makes me have headaches. Well one night during this cold spell I woke up coughing real bad and took a while to get back to sleep. When I did fall a sleep I dreamt that I was in the doctor's office for my cough. The doctor stuck a Qtip in my ears and said there is your problem. When I woke up I thought about it. First, the ears are connected to the throat and all that. Also, sometimes when I use a Qtip to my ears and go to far it makes my throat hurt and I start coughing. So my ears transfer their aggitation to my throat. Also when it gets cold I sometimes get earaches. Now what I think I am going to do is cover my ears when it gets cold. Unfortunately and fortunately the weather warmed up before I could test whether my dream was right. But I read a couple of times of people learning what was wrong with their bodies through a dream. If this is a solution it would benefit me for the rest of my life until a move somewhere with warm winters.

Dream 6
In this dream a giant crocodile or komoto dragon type thing was bighting down on my left hand. So I beat it senseless with my right hand. I do not know any meaning from this dream. Though, I enjoy that I do much better against my adversaries in my dreams now than when I was younger. Maybe this means that I am a more confident person.

Dream 7
This is probably the worst dream I had since starting this project. I was real cold the whole dream. I was going to wrestling practice in the dream, and had to drive through a lot of crazy traffic to some weird place to get there and was late. Then this friend that I have, who is not a wrestler, started to play fight with me. For some reason I started beating him up and really hurt him. This was the only dream I had during my high stress period that was clear enough to write down, and I did not like any of it.
