Dreaming…

It’s been a while. I used to dream a lot. The past few years my sleep has been interrupted by night sweats…hot flashes…not pretty.

I have tried everything…exercise…warm milk…no caffeine…no TV…kicked the cat and the dog out...herbal supplements…sleep ease…you name it.

I complained all the time about being tired. While diet and exercise are important to good health…the adequate amount of sleep is just as important. I knew this…but still continued to struggle.

I finally discovered something that works for me…Meditation!! I like it…I’m dreaming again…

Last night…or early this morning…I had one of those dreams that seemed real. You know…the kind that you can’t stop thinking about. In my dream I was cleaning. I ran my hand across a shelf and felt something drop on my foot. I shook my foot and this big…I mean really big…long legged black spider with a small white body went running across the floor. I don’t like spiders. In fact, I’m terrified of them. Within minutes my ankle started to turn pink and the bite size circle started to grow. Then it started to turn purple…and started to go up my leg. It looked like that flesh eating disease. It was alarming. I woke up and jumped out of bed. I turned the light on to make sure my ankle was ok. Of course it was fine. It felt so real…It was a dream…

All morning I have been cautious…looking on the floor board of my car…checking the floor near my desk…I keep looking for that spider…

Thank goodness it was just a dream…thank goodness I am dreaming again…thank goodness I don’t see that spider.

I hope you all have a Wonderful Wednesday with no complaints and that you dream…it makes a difference!
