Ok, Fess Up, Whose Nightmare Was This?

[lydy]

Sleep last night was terrible, made especially terrible by an incredibly complex nightmare in which I was involved with/held captive by an abusive man who was planning on bombing Brittany Spears at Coachella to prove that he loved me because Brittany had stolen my boyfriend.  There was some really icky sexual violence in the nightmare (thank you, brain) and a lot of shooting and running around and bombs and it was really terrible.  But in what universe am I monogamous?  And Brittany Spears, really?  I mean, I barely know who she is.  How was this my nightmare?   If this one belonged to you, I am so sorry, but I really wish it hadn't been mis-delivered.

I have nightmares about Donald Trump, so it wasn't mine.

Oh, lord, the man gives me day-mares. It would be just dreadful if he invaded my nights, too. My deepest sympathies.

Thank you. And sweet(er) dreams!

Definitely not mine, either: when everyone was talking about Coachella two weeks ago, I had to google to find out what it even was. Sorry for the terrible misdelivery!

there is such a thing as dreamskip

it sounds like a neighbor traded with you

a dream catcher would help
or a glass filled with water and salt
to absorb negative stuff.

cleanse your area with sage
and renew your sheilds
tune it to keep out dreams.

As a devout materialist, I think this is nonsense. As a person who has had nightmares two nights in a row and would really, really prefer not to have them again tonight, I have put a small bowl of water and salt next to the bed.

no problem
what ever it takes to filter your dreams

just want you to sleep well <3

So far, either chance or the salt water is doing the trick, no nightmares the last couple of nights. Thanks for the well wishes.

glad it worked !

pour out and refresh the salt water

washing your hands in dry salt helps
with stuff too

[haertstitch]

was thinking the salt water is more of a chemistry thing
than psychic kind of like the salt lamps
actually more effective than the salt lamps
humidity and extra electrolytes
wonder if living by the sea is even better

Another way to avoid bad dreams is to cover your head with juice from a can of tuna.

If you can't sleep because of feline attention, you can't have bad dreams.

I can see how this would work.

Once again, you are helping. What have we said about that?
