I too experience the dreams of conflict, uncertainty and anxiety. Not every night, but often. I shared this with my neuropsychologist and she related them to the issues that are not resolved in my life right now.

I think most of us that are dealing with PCS have some anxiety over the continuation of our symptoms, and the impacts of TBI on our careers, relationships, etc. We are all seeking answers that aren't readily available.

I also think that we are in conflict with ourselves in feeling that our bodies (brains) have "let us down" by not recovering quickly enough.

The neuropsych often talks about grieving and sense of loss for the person that I was prior to the concussion. Sounds morbid and negative, but being able to be realistic about not currently being the person I was may help in my emotional recovery to heal. Doesn't mean I'm resolved to or giving up on recovering my preconcussion self.
