Dreaming about packing

[mousehunter3]

I spent this entire past weekend running errands, washing clothes, and packing for our trip (in 4 days! Ahhhh!). Last night, I slept terrible- I kept dreaming about packing, unpacking, repacking!

At least I am all packed now and can spend the next 4 days thinking about the things I might have forgotten. I've already started a list...

I am having nightmares about waking up the morning of our trip and have nothing packed! We are 22 days away! My husband thinks I'm driving myself nuts planning this vacation So happy to hear I'm not the only one having similar dreams I can't imagine what I will be dreaming of only 4 days away but I will be done packing by then! Enjoy your trip

I do the same thing. I always stress that I will forget something. I try to check things off my list as I pack to keep from driving myself completely crazy.

Me too, but I end up with multiple lists and they all look like a crazy person made them and marked them up by the time I am done! Ha! I am making my "final" list on my phone now so I can delete instead of crossing out.

I've been going for years and I still have this problem. At least 2 nights before the trip of waking up constantly, dreaming about packing....then 2 nights before our trip home I have the same problem.

It seems rediculous after all the trips we've taken but I can't seem to stop the waking up or the dreams. I know what I'm packing, we've done it long enough that it's almost second nature but I still have a problem with sleeping. Arrghh!!!

I have dreams I overslept and missed the plane!

But I definitely get anxiety over packing. We leave in 2 days and though we are only there 4 days, my suitcase is bursting at the seams! LOL

I keep an ongoing, handwritten list of 'forgetables' taped to the inside of my kitchen cabinet. I know I'm not going to forget underwear, but sunscreen and stuff like that is on the list!

Also, if it's a last-minute packed item, I write the items on a big florescent sticky note and attach it to the front door. Items such as snacks from the fridge, headphones, chargers.

Worst case scenario is that I know I can always pay out the nose and get the items while in Orlando.

Funny that as we planners get closer to our trip, the crazy dreams start! I dreamed last night that I took my motor scooter (ummm, I don't OWN a motor scooter!) to the park on the first day and couldn't find any of my passes, my drivers license, or anything! They wouldn't let me in!

Have fun!

LOL!! Glad I'm not the only one! 3 days to go!

(almost) EVERY vacation I take anywhere from a month to a couple days before we leave, I have this dream where it's like, 5 minutes before I have to leave and I still haven't packed yet It's a very stressful dream.

AND what's even funnier, this past september my boyfriend showed up at my house and surprised me with a mini trip to the Kalahari (look it up it's awesome, a waterpark african resort!) and i had to hurry and pack, it was crazy! lol

I LOVE the Kalahari! We go to the one in the Dells at least once a year and we've spent a week at the one in Ohio twice.

My recurring travel dream involves me getting arrested and sent away before my vacation. In this dream, my concern is more about missing my vacation as opposed to going to prison. And no, I am not engaging in any illegal activity that would make this a reality, it is just a recurring dream I have had for years.

I have the packing dream too. We're 25 days out and I've been having that dream on and off for about 2 weeks now. I wake up and my heart is racing. Lol My DH thinks I'm nuts.

I'm also having one where we get to our resort but it's all wrong (like our beds are in the hotel lobby) and I'm so upset because I realize I didn't research our resort enough before making the reservation.

I don't know why I'm so anxious about it all. Our trip is planned, paid for and I'm 100% certain our beds are NOT in the hotel lobby. My packing list is complete and I have a suitcase already started where I'm tossing in misc. items.

It's only going to get worse before it gets better. I'm sure pretty soon I'll start having dreams that we've left the kids at home or something.

I have been dreaming that I didnt finish my girls shirts for the trip (BTW I have not Finished them yet! )

Really?! I've been there 3 times, we live like 3 hours south of the Dell's!

Yes! That's funny... we are about an hour and a half from the Dells, between Milwaukee and Madison. We're lucky to live so close to there- we love it!
