Judging from the dream, I can confidently guess that stress from your waking life is causing these issues. Specifically, you're taking on more than you can handle.

1.You feel that you're not able to yield or surrender from your stress.
2.The dream is telling you to take a break from your daily stress. Slow down and smile.
3.The dreams message wasn't being communicated clearly due to the lack of understanding.
4.You're experiencing anxieties in various aspects of your waking life.
