Dreaming of anxiety means you are harboring fear towards a certain activity or event. The closer as the time line approaches, the greater the fear eventually freezing you out from any kind of action. This normally stems from a need for perfection, and a fear of failure. Truth of the matter is that everyone fails before they succeed.
Anxiety in a dream is considered to be a warning sign. It is also believed to represent worry, fear and nervousness. Some anxiety is caused by an unrealistic expectation that is set on oneself or from the social environment and pressures to live up to someone else’s standards rather than one’s own. This can lead to depression, as well as anxiety disorders or phobias in which case they may be related to some sort of traumatic event.
