Dreams about stairs

[Gromit]

I woke up with a dream about a stair this morning. It was a new dream, trying to get up some stairs, in the dark, following my children who had done it before and were ahead, but somehow reaching a dead end in the dark, hearing them but not being able to reach them.

I have had dreams about stairs before, the stairs at my senior school, open, wooden stairs, that disappeared from below me as I was on them. That used to visit me frequently, very upsetting.

I think the latest may be some kind of anxiety about returning to work next week after such a long break and to changed circumstances where I have to keep all the new guidance. I am not sure though.

Anyone else have dreams about stair cases?

Stairs disappearing from below you when you're on them sounds very uncomfortable if not downright terrifying.

The only dreams I have about stairs that I can think of is sliding down them when falling asleep, but apparently there's some physiological non-trauma related reason for that.
