I haven't been active here for a good reason - I've got a job now, at Walmart (Take my advice and never, ever apply for a job there), and I'm a senior in High School. Not only that, but my seasonal affective disorder is coming in strong for another winter.

For the past week and a half, my dreams have been like so...

I'll be laying down in my bed, fiddling with either my iPod or phone, or playing my 3DS. I constantly say to myself (and any friends I'm speaking to through my iPod or phone) "I should sleep soon, I really should!". But I don't. That is one of my recurring dreams.

More often than not I'll have a dream that accompanies the first. I'll be at work, and the line of customers seems endless. My boss (Who dislikes me for no good reason) glares at me and tells me I'm doing a terrible job.

It is clear that both dreams are caused by stress, but no matter what I do I can't avoid these dreams - or stress.

I'm asking for help, advice on how to avoid these dreams. Especially the first, as it really kills my performance at school. I've been staying up late for the past week or so, unwillingly. I get about 6 hours of sleep during weeknights, 8 on weekends, but I can't help but feel restless due to these dreams.

Oh, and if this random tidbit is any help, I haven't been remembering my dreams for a while now - my ability to recall dreams came back starting with these. I do remember other dreams, but the recurring ones are the most vivid out of them all.

Any advice will be appreciated. My own ideas are failing.
