How Did You Sleep Last Night?

I actually had a decent nights sleep. I think.:sneaky: (excuse the major swiss cheese brain at work). But that's my store and I'm sticking to it - for now anyway:p
 
I had trouble falling asleep until about 6 AM, mind was too crazy and anxious. However, I did get a solid 8 hours before work - it just hasn't made up for the fatigue I've felt this past week. I am unmedicated.

I often dream. I feel like it's my best way to deal with things... my mind processes the days events.

I had a dream about a TV that was a cube. It was playing the cartoon Batman Beyond, two unknown people were sitting on either side of this TV. It was located on a table in a pizzeria where I was learning how to make dough. The guy teaching me was my first boss from 2005. I tried to make the pizzas like he did and ended up somehow making a perfectly hexagonal pizza with a spiral pattern of pepperoni. I kept trying and failing, trying and failing and could not succeed. I felt panicked.

I returned back to my room which was like a large metal futuristic room, not unlike the "Danger Room" from the X-Men. My friends were there but they were all naked. One of them, who I had some issues with because of PTSD related issues, came up to me and told me not to worry because deep down he still loves me for who I am.
 
I slept only 4 hours because my stupid cat jumped on my back and woke me up at 3 a.m. and that was it for me. I've been up ever since. I hate that furry beast (not really).

She has the whole length of the bed BUT she has to jump right on my back!
 
I didn't sleep well. I somehow injured my shoulder in my sleep, not the inner rotator cuff but somewhere on the back near the scapula. I had a dream about my abuser. It was weird...
 
What's sleep again? I honestly haven't had a full night's sleep since monday when I took my sedatives...from then I've been afraid of sleeping because of the nightmares. I did fall asleep around 7:30 this morning and I had a nightmare where I was at the gyno with my feet up in the stirrups, but it wasn't my gyn, it was my urologist who resembles my abuser. Then he just started touching me in a way that he shouldn't be, then he raped me and i couldn't see his face anymore until he was done, and when he pulled out and looked at me, it was my abuser. I woke up stifling a scream and drenched in sweat despite the fact that my room was freezing cold. Horrible. I swear I never want to sleep again

-hugs you-

I too had a bad dream about my abuser. I was making out with him in a place foreign to me and I was stuck, I couldn't move away from him. I just sat there, feeling so terrible, filthy, wanting to vomit. But then a positive dream happened and interfered - a team of women came to rescue me from him
