What do dreams mean where you never accomplish what you set out to do at the

beginning of the dream? For the past 10 years the majority of my dreams have a common theme. They're all different but the theme is that i never finish what i set out to do in the dream or get to a place that i'm trying to get to in my dreams. It could be as minor as making myself something very specific to eat like mac & cheese. Well In my dreams I start it and it really seems like it's going to go well but then i get distracted by people showing up and talking to me while I'm trying to cook. Or not being able to find one of the ingredients i need. And the entire dream is spent trying to find the missing ingredient so that i can just make my mac & cheese but i never find it and I have so much anxiety about it in the dream because i feel like it's getting really late and i still haven't finished it. I look out of a window and i see it going from day to night and i still haven't finished it. Then i find the ingredient but then something else goes wrong. Either way my dream ends and I still haven't made the mac & cheese or whatever and i feel really regretful and anxious. Or it can be something as major as my wedding day and I'm in my apartment alone trying to get ready to leave the house so that i can get hair done etc. but i can't find a stitch of clothes to put on. Absolutely Nothing! Not even underwear. The entire time everyone is calling on the phone even the groom asking if everything is ok and I always say yes. Then I look out of a window and i see day turning to night and i still can't leave the house and again i feel major anxiety and frustration. These two dreams are just examples of the various dreams I've had over the last 10 years with the same outcome. I just never accomplish my goal no matter how big or small the goal is. It's always really trivial things holding me back. Any ideas on what this all means and has anyone else experienced the same? I know the obvious theory may be the thought of being held back or the worry that i'm not reaching my goals in real life. But does anyone else have any more insight?

Thanks a lot!
