Anxiety dream flashbacks

Hi everyone,

I am going to see my doctor about this but I am just feeling super anxious. Does any experience dream flashbacks? I have read this is a symptom of anxiety, I do health anxiety.
It doesn't last very long I will just be doing something and then all of a sudden my mind will remember a dream I had. It makes me feel super anxious because I have read that this can be a symptom of temporal lobe epilepsy however just for background I have no history of seizures, have had no brain injuries or infections that may trigger it.
I would love to hear other peoples experiences.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about dreams but I have read that with flashbacks, it’s the intrusive nature that rattles you. Try to make time and purposefully give them time to think about and go over and then put them away and you gain the power over them.
