I am about to take a trip and am experiencing some classic pre- drive jitters. I seem to remember learning there was one word that describes that feeling, but cant remember what it is. Lil help? Thanks!
I recall "journey proud" being mentioned on one of the shows described as being nervous about or excited for a trip.
I'd never heard of travel jitters (which is a fine term in itself, I would say). But it just now occurs to me that I used to suffer from them myself, without realizing it: For years, when I was about to take a long trip, I'd have dreams in the weeks before leaving that I was missing my flight, or getting lost. Most of the dreams were ridiculously unrealistic, but they always involved a sense of shame and failure at not being able to get where I was going, and often included getting on the wrong plane.
For some years I traveled almost every week by plane, and the dreams faded; apparently use makes master. But other anxieties take their place; for some reason a year or two ago I started having dreams about not knowing what classroom I should go to or what textbooks I needed, though I haven't been in college in decades; I cannot imagine what triggered those. I would have guessed I was just weird, but judging by your question maybe not?
