Just a dream: You can experience anything in a dream. It has no special significance. I see you are taking xanax (alprazolam) and zoloft, which suggests that you are being treated for anxiety. If so, see a psychologist for psychotherapy. Medication alone is not good treatment. Psychotherapy should address the causes of your anxiety (not just the symptoms) and help you overcome it.
