Yes, I believe I do dream when I sleep but they aren't as vivid as they used to be. I used to be a very active dreamer, would fall into REM quickly and dream even if only napping for a half hour.
I was was drunk and tripped over something and hit my head on a rock. The actual accident doesn't cause me any stress, however the proceeding events caused a great deal. I did a list with my girlfriend last night of the stressful events that have taken place since the accident and it added up to 19! I was in the process of buying a house, had to cancel a non refundable vacation, my truck broke down 4 time, including the day I was moving and couldn't figure out the issue, among other smaller things.
There was a time about 3 weeks after I hit my head that I described myself as 98%, then anxiety REALLY started. I thought it was bad in the first 3 weeks, boy was I wrong. It's worse now.
