I have been having bad dreams lately. I guess I should say really bad dreams, to qualify. I always have bad, or at least unpleasant, dreams. The last time I remember having a good dream was when I was 6. After that they have always been nightmarish, where I’m dying, or uncomfortable, like I try to read, but I can’t because everything is blurry. And that is *really* frustrating.
Sometimes I can convince myself it’s a dream and force myself to wake up. Other times I can’t. I get chased a lot. But recently I have dreamt that people I know have died. And the heartbreak is so real in the dream, I wake up scarred. And it’s hard to believe it was just a dream and I get stuck in the melancholy death brings.
The best nights are when I don’t remember my dreams at all, but those are few and far between.
What does it take to have a good dream these days?
