It is very disconcerting and not a little annoying given I could really use a good nights sleep.
Last night was full of images from old jobs that annoyed me, cousins in trouble, and my wife and I running down the deck of an aircraft carrier on fire, planes in the air shooting at us, loud noises, smoke, the whole WWII movie thing. It was very vivid.
I know I am stressed out about school and money and things of that nature, but jeez, can I guy get a break. Xanax isn't working. Neither is alcohol or a good workout or hard days labor.
Anybody got any suggestions?
This sounds exactly like Sam--the waking up and the nightmares. I feel terrible for him when he has nights like this.
ReplyDeleteI know it sounds like a joke, but when I have trouble of this sort, a good dose of a calcium supplement helps. My mom is better at explaining why, but I just know it helps. Seems like it's help Sam some, too. Anyway, wouldn't hurt any.
Hope you don't mind me reading your new blog ...
not exactly the same, but close. i mean, they start as i'm falling asleep, but i never dream out of the bed: i start to fall asleep and then i think someone's in the room or in the house and i'm paralyzed and i can't breath and i try to call out for help but i can't - i just moan and struggle until i get myself awake and realize there's nobody there.
ReplyDeletei think this is the devil at work.
literally.
Yep, that is the phenomenon. Happens and then the next day I am totally messed up.
