You can find just about anything on The Internet. I was looking for the right words to describe a state of mind so I clicked on Google, typed in “anxiety dream”, and in point 39 seconds Google served up over 58 million entries. I didn't need to look any further than the first one:

I don't have any firsthand knowledge about what appears to be a nation-wide descent into full-blown madness.
