Why do i keep dreaming of really messing up at my new job?

I started a new job this past week.  This is a big step for me.  As some of you may know, i have seizures.  This is the first time i have stepped out of my comfort zone since 2005 when i had a major seizure which lost me my full time job.  This new job entails me taking care of two women in their home who are disabled.  I keep dreaming of me doing things like driving with them in a car (i dont drive) and getting into a terrible accident.  Or cooking something that one is highly allergic to.  In one dream i was trying to protect them from an intruder in the house.  That one had me sitting straight up in bed withmy heart pounding. Are these dreams a product of my own self doubt, or could it be more?

    Research suggest that one of the functions of dreaming is for us to work-through different scenarios, especially ones that might worry us. We play-out the scenario in our dream which appears to make us better able to cope if things really do start to go wrong. Usually, the things we dream about will never happen. In real life, we actively try to do things right so trouble is less likely to happen. Stay cool, my friend, and maybe try to build on your more positive thoughts.
