  • I Woke Up Screaming.

    I'm under duress and I know it.    I tried to get a ton of sleep,  going to bed at 8:30 and taking Benedryl which always knocks me out.

    I fell asleep.   I have had a restless week,  not sleeping well...  I need more sleep.  Not getting enough sleep is detrimental to physical and mental health.   At this time I especially need more sleep and something I prefer not to say has counteracted my system and I am adjusting to the stress.

    I dreamed I was approaching my niece's apartment.  The door was open,  things were kind of in disarray.   As I approached the door,  it started to slam in my face,  literally nearly crashing into my face with such force that I had to defend myself against it and raise my arms.   It fought me,  I tried to push my way in as whatever was behind the door tried to close it on me.

    A terror rose in me,   all of my primal fears were behind that door and my fear of facing them grew as I pushed the door open,  trying to get inside anyway.  I awoke in a powerful blood curdling scream that I am sure woke the neighbors.   

    I got out of bed and looked at the time, it was 12:01 AM,  my heart pounding....    I did not sleep well the rest of the night.

    Earlier in the week I dreamed I found a skull in the woods.  I was holding it up examining it. 

    I am concerned about my thinking and mental duress in this week.      Outside stresses have added to everything.  I have been unable to attend functions.

    Today is a function I need to attend to earn CEUs,  and I am going to have a hard time ,  if I am able at all, to go....

    I need to sleep for 8 hours unbroken.... I will try again tonight...

  • well, I hope you were able to go today and there's always an afternoon nap to help take the edge off. I don't often get 8 hours of sleep either. peace, Al

  • The door to the unknown. Poor you. I think you have pushed yourself too hard and now it is a time for rest. Love you P.

  • I hope everything is OK !
    Are things good between you and your niece? A door slamming is symbolistic of the feeling of being shut out or left out of something.The disarray and the door slamming indicates you are worried about her...

    Hope you are OK and you have a better weekend's sleep !
    xoxo
