Nightmare

My nightmares are infrequent--thankfully. I think I could even call them rare considering how often I dream and how few of those dreams are unpleasant.

Last night I dreamed that I was back in Minnesota. Life was going well, until I realized that I had missed three shifts in a row at work. I didn't know I worked then and just didn't go. I was about to talk to my boss about it and tell her that I just didn't notice I was supposed to work...and I woke up. Thankfully.

Eek. I think I may have a little anxiety about going back to work in MN.

Dreams

The past few nights I have had brilliant sleep quality. It seems that I'm finally able to have the right temperature and tune out the traffic. Moreover, I have been falling asleep and staying asleep. Beautiful.

I think it has been because my nights have been full. (1)Dinner and devotions with Paul and Laurel (2)Hour + of throwing (3)Time working on distance ed (4)Free reading before sleep. Last night I walked up to an old fort here in town. 'Twas a scenic and enjoyable walk.

Over the course of my sleep-filled nights, I have had some very chaotic dreams. It seems that this is most readily gauged by the number of people in my dreams. One night I was traveling and stopping at very crowded gas stations and shopping complexes. In one I ran into Nyla Evans. We were elated to see each other and hardly left each other's presence--literally, she was giving me a piggy back ride. Then there was a huge conference of sorts at a Bible camp.

Another night I dreamed that my sisters and I were the four "little women." In that same dream the Biechler family was parallel to the Kent family (Smallville again) and had quite the conflict with the Luthers.

Last night, my dreams took me to a Bible conference with a bunch of NWC and Trout Lake Camp persons. At one point we went to a coffeeshop and Bre was working there. She slipped her discount card so I could get 50% off. I almost got kicked out because I didn't have evidence that I'd made a purchase there that day. I hadn't reserved a hotel room for the conference, but three rooms were left at the hotel--at $325 a pop. I got a room that had been trashed by NWC people. I was later appalled because I found out that some of the NWC couples were sharing hotel rooms.

Anyhow, my dreams lately include lots of people from various parts of my past. Intense.
