Dreams.
I recently posted about my mixed relationship with sleep.
So let's take it to the next level people!
Dreams.
The thing about dreams is that are real. No, I don't mean that the elephant wearing the clown mask was real and I had to shower off all of my make up.
I mean that the dream experience is real. Internally. It is your experience.
I have woken from really shitty dreams and it took me hours to get past them - I knew that they were just a stupid shitty dream, but they dragged me down.
Anyone else here with that experience?
Yes. I occasionally experience a dream that I just cannot shake off, that will include recurring visual flashbacks. It is usually a dream about something that affects me on a deep emotional level. It can be a little unnerving.
