Insomnia – Dreaming about not being able to sleep means that you have something especially difficult or stressful in your life. If you want to cure yourself from that it is important to take life as it comes and not to plan too far ahead or worry yourself with all of the details. These sorts of dreams are common for people who want to control everything in their life. The real trick is to learn how to be the leaf floating down the river of life. If you can do that, my friend, then you have found nirvana. If you have a lot of stress in your life, remember to take naps.
