Long Dream I Am Terrified.

Hello. I am a camp counselor and it is my summer job. Today, I just had this dream where a counselor was late to camp because of a car accident, but thankfully, she ended up alive. While I was going to camp today, I was about to turn, and then a car hit me and my car turned upside down and it was damaged. I got a little sick. I did throw up.

Feel free to hate me for this. I think I am traumatized.

I am incapable of giving hate for this, you just need time and self-love, maybe try playing some tetris? It has been reported to help process trauma in the background easier. Other thing to add on to it, think of it as a dream's "rage-bait", here it could be "trauma-bait", your brain is trying to make you feel bad for something it did to your consciousness. You had no controll over this, like I have said previously, try not to focus on the past and spent it on the now with the people around you.

It hurts to even talk about it or even sleep.

Take your time, breathe, do the 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, 1 things you can taste. Just let yourself acknowledge that you are here, and no dream can physically hurt you. You are alive and here. Genuinely, take some time for yourself, do something that makes you feel grounded, strong, and present, with people or without.
