i'm not precisely certain when i stopped having nightmares.
Not about anything in particular, mind you, just nightmares in general. Of course, remembering my earliest and most frequent nightmares were about geometric shapes comprised of complex knots (and yeah, i woke up screaming from a few of those) pretty much tells you that my nightmares are about as normal as my regular dreams.
That doesn't mean i have restful sleep every night. Over the past few weeks my dreams have consisted of long, drawn out arguments with my family. Again, not really nightmares, but not really lending themselves for the more recuperative of restful slumbers either.
i guess i need a new term. Something akin to Freddy Kruger sitting on your headboard and spending the night asking if we're there yet, more night-annoyances than anything else.
i've tried most of the usual suspects, (glass of milk, working myself 'til i'm tired, walks and exercise, booze) and nothing's really helped. i suppose i could some how figure out how to do some lucid dreaming, try flying away from the confrontation, and then spend the rest of my moments in Dreamland on the phone hearing how my parents are very disappointed that i didn't seek FAA clearances first.
And no, Freddy, we're still not there yet.
