How Did You Sleep Last Night?

[Deleted member 12723]

Well I stayed up late after all. I read my book before I fell asleep. I slept soundly, no dreams and woke up early. I just love having a good nights sleep.

Well, I slept pretty well today.

Dreamed about trying to evacuate civilians from a desert town under heavy artillery fire. There was a little girl hiding in a tunnel and she wouldn't come out, so I had to go in and get her.

Once again the strange figure whose face I can never see was there, talking me through the whole thing.

Weird.

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night like I often do with an overwhelming feeling of terror and fear, sweating, gasping for breath, but no memory of the nightmare, just the emotions.

After trying to do my 'safe place' visualisation and breathing, I calmed down and tried to go back to sleep.

Dozed on and off for another few hours before getting up with my very noisy and active young sons, who I adore, but sometimes can't help wishing were not so noisy and on the go from the second they wake up!

I slept very early and immediately was fallen asleep as I laid down on bed. I had good sleep. Still I feel bit tired.

Not much or well, but at least no nightmares and Panic.

I slept very good. No dreams. I love it. Hugs to all who did not sleep good last night.((((hugs)))

Long day at work. Lots of meetings and disaster planning and whatnot. Passed out, rather than fell asleep. I never figure I've done enough work until there's none left to do or I pass out.

I slept beautifully last night and had the most wonderful vivid dream.

In the dream I bumped into the love of my life. I was so pleased to see him, he kissed me and asked where I had been all this time. Can't remember my answer, though I held him close and could feel the warmth of his body and the familiar smell of his skin. It was so wonderfully real, until I woke up.

I loved him so much, but I couldn't break the rules back then. He died five years ago quite suddenly and I never had the chance to say goodbye.

Once I went to bed two thirty in the morning, I slept very good. I slept in again. I am beginning to love this sleeping in. I am such a light sleeper I wake up so early. This has been very nice. I feel very rested.

Apart from the physical pain which is more or less constant, I slept well, snuggled with my dogs.

Well, I couldn't sleep. Had a flashback at around two thirty. Woke up Daddy and he came in and hugged me. That felt good to know he was there. And then I fell asleep after he calmed me down by telling me that no one was going to hurt me.

Slept ok, I suppose, but the dreams are kind of haunting me...

I dreamt that I was talking to my paternal grandmother (deceased) and explaining to her my reasons for wanting to become a fireman. She seemed very pleased. It was nice to have a conversation again, after so long.

Then I had a dream about a bunch of 'private defence contractors' who had carried out some highly dubious dirty work and were now being whacked while still in-country by their superiors to try and cover it all up. I was trying to figure out who was behind it and I seemed to be working for a government organisation whose uniform I didn't recognise.

It ended with me trying to protect my wife and some other people (who I don't even know in real life) during a fairly intense firefight at a remote cottage. There was a helicopter and everything.

All terribly action packed, eh?

This is probably something to do with a conversation I had with my wife the previous night regarding an offer of employment from one of those companies. I'm really not a fan of them and, as much as I'd love to get back in the thick of it, I wouldn't do it that way, even though the money could buy us that little farm we've always wanted.
