A uncomfortable dream that isn't quite a nightmare, but recreates a very disturbing unsettling situation. Like getting dumped or getting bad news. Or going to work in the nude.
I thought I shit my pants while at the store, but I woke up and realized it was only a rancid dream.
I went to work naked yesterday by accident and I was subsequently humiliated. I woke up, and to my relief I was only rancid dreaming.
