Small-Scale Nightmares

I've been having a lot of dreams lately, which I can mostly attribute to all the naps I take. When I'm just napping for an hour or two in the afternoon, it's such a light sleep that I exist in a weird, constant half-awake, half-asleep state. My mind is racing through one dream after another, while I'm still aware on some level that I'm asleep in my bedroom.

Anyway, I've noticed that whenever i have a "nightmare" these days, the problem i'm faced with in the dream is so small-scale that it seems almost comical. I'm not dreaming about falling off cliffs or losing all my teeth or any of the usual nightmare suspects. These are the most angst-filled dreams I've experienced this week:

1. During a real-life conversation with my roommate about when we should see Hot Tub Time Machine, she informed me it was only playing in two theatres in town. Later that night, I dreamed that the film was actually only playing in ONE theatre, and that we'd missed the (cheap) Tuesday night screening at that theatre. Who cares.
2. In real life, a pair of friends is coming to town this weekend and we're going to a Toronto Raptors game together. They paid for my ticket, which came to $30, because I'd bought them each a ticket to this weekend's Japandroids show. Last night, I dreamed that the cost of my Raptors ticket had actually been more like $35 or $40, meaning I owed them a few bucks each. Who cares.

It's gotten to the point where I'm almost longing for a good, old-fashioned "I'm not gonna make it to my exam in time!!!" nightmare. Is my life so banal these days that this is all my subconscious has to stress out about? Does my real life need to be more interesting for me to start having interesting dreams again?
