I did not sleep well last night. I had nightmare after nightmare.
I don't have nights like that very often, but when I do I wake up exhausted. Last night I kept dreaming that I was crying--really crying--though I can't remember over what. And then you wake up and you feel like you have been crying, and it's awful.
Sometimes I have recurring nightmares about my son who died, but not too often anymore.
Anyway, as I was trying to wash it all off in the shower this morning, something occurred to me.
Hear me out and see if you can relate.
Last night, as I was going to bed, I chatted with my husband for a bit. We talked. It was nice.
But that was it, if you get my drift.
And I had nightmares.
So I started thinking, have I ever had nightmares on the evenings when that wasn't it, if you know what I mean? And I don't think I have.
I do know that "being intimate" makes you sleep better. Maybe it makes you dream better, too.
Today Keith is at work, so I paged him to tell him my theory. He's enthusiastic about testing it out, to see if doing so averts nightmares. Of course, I only get nightmares maybe every few months, so it will be difficult to tell. But he's eager to start trying it out.
lol.. This is great. If I feel like I am crying I normally wake up with real tears. I am very empathic, so when I dream something it can stick with me for days and weeks, and sometimes I won't realize it was a dream/nightmare for a while.
About Me: I'm a Christian author of a bunch of books, and a frequent speaker to women's groups and marriage conferences. Best of all, I love homeschooling my daughters, Rebecca and Katie. And I love to knit. Preferably simultaneously.
Stumble It!
