...and I miss you guys.  I'm in a funk for some reason...last night was the worst night sleep I've had in I can't recall how long.  Nightmares but no plot, just the awareness that I'm scared shitless and can't waken...then when I did, I didn't want to go back to sleep again, but I was so tired...
 
Definition of "vicious cycle"...
 
So.  Needing any and all hugs from friends.  Thank you...

Sorry.  My sentiments are late, but no less heartfelt!   
 
What the heck did you have for supper that caused those nightmares, Jen?  I learned the hard way not to have Nachos for my "midnight snack."

Jen, I certainly understand what you mean and have gone through. I think that those sort of dreams (situations) are very common. You have many hugs from Greenville sc

My worst dreams were dreaming that I was asleep dreaming and then waking from that dream and still being asleep. Then going through the bit of trying to wake up to reality. I do not recall being scared, just bent that I had lost control. Haven't had that dream in some years now --- don't want it either.

oc...did you try the perfume on the pillow thingy to encourage pleasant dreams? I think it works. Flora has been putting a bit of the Coco on the pillows since Christmas.

Kitty, Gryph, and Cooter...
 
Thanks for your lovin...last night was better.  I had very active dreams, but at least they weren't frightening.  Not sure what's going on in this cranium!
 
Love you guys...xx J

Hope you didn't do the Scrooge thing and eat the wrong sushi!
 
Who knows the insanity of thought in dreams? For what it's worth, when I've had such events, I have actually asked for Jesus' help, and after asking, was able to sleep in peace. Almost afraid to pursue why that worked, simply accept that it did.
 
Anyway you may have all the hugs and kisses you want.

Pikes...You're a dream .
 
My daughter used to have night terrors quite often when she was small...having always been incredibly verbal, she could describe how she felt with sobering precision.  So we devised her own little 'weapons' backpack that she'd "wear" into dreams...and she'd be able to defend herself against whatever was going on in dreamland.  Seemed to work...most of the time anyway.
 
I've learned to live with a very active dreamworld...always have been a dreamer for better or ill.  Sometimes, that life is more interesting than this one...lol...
 
Yeah I know...get therapy.

Coot is offering you his heinie?  <running>
 
If the mind is a mirror of the universe, then dreams are reality somewhere. If that doesn't glaze the old eyes, you'll never be a hormel ham.
 
Don't get therapy. Therapy is for those who hope to lobotomize their creativity. I would rather live one more day with the imagination I have, than to live thirty more years without it.

Writing is my therapy...though I detest thinking of it in those terms.  Some of my best poems are written before I waken...characters are dreamed onto the page...who/whatever is the muse there (and I've dreamed him too...I could tell you down to the shoes what he looks like)...keep it comin...
 
Cooter...pop a cap and move over!!!

Jen, lots and lots of lovin' hugs! And, maybe a smooch or two. Glad your nights are better since the 5th. On Jan 5th we were in Bargarh, Orissa, a seven hour drive from Bhubaneswar. You can Google Bargarh for fun if you want. I'll tell you more about all that later, and with pix too. We're back 'home' in Bhubaneswar now. Today the driver and I went around and around until he finally located an internet cafe (internet cafes used to be so plentiful here, now their like hen's teeth). I need to get back to work pretty soon though.
