My mom has recently been hospitalised after a stroke, she'll be spending a long time in bed recovering and rehabilitating.

I want to put her hair in a comfortable protective style that lasts. I'm good with braids and hairstyling, and I'm up for doing intricate styles if I need to, I'm just not sure what the best thing to do is. Loose gets tangled quick, and I know from experience that laying in bed with a braid makes it fall apart immediately at least on my own hair.

Does anyone know a good style I can do on her? She has long fine straight hair. Thanks in advance!

I've always had trouble sleeping, and dealing with bad and uncomfortable dreams is really normal for me. But ever since I started taking melatonin again they've been really heavy and for some reason and my boyfriend is just nowhere to be seen in them anymore.

I've had at least 5 dreams in the past few days where I'm just living my life like im single (talking to other guys, doing things alone). And then when I wake up I'm almost REMINDED that I have a man. It makes me so uncomfortable, especially because I'm usually very in tune with the topics of my dreams and know what they mean pretty easily. And let me tell you I'm so happy with my boyfriend, especially lately when I've been having these dreams I've been so insanely in love with him. So it's just weird and confusing and doesn't make sense to me at all.

This morning I had a dream where I was talking to a guy, we went on a date and then I decided to introduce him to my parents, I took him home with me and my parents were fighting about something, then I said "can you stop fighting I just want to introduce you to my new boyfriend". And then I started waking up from that dream while my in dream sister was saying something like "what about RealBfsName?", then I woke up to my real boyfriend waking up for work. That's just an example but its been lots of dreams like this in the past 3 days, and it's honestly really scaring me. Especially when I have them when he already left for work, I just feel weird untill I see him again and even then seeing him feels a bit weird at first. I feel weird about a lot of things in my daily life since taking the melatonin again (ex. I got up to feed the chickens and felt weird about it, then I remembered I dreamt that I found one dead), but I hate hate hate feeling weird and dissociated around my boyfriend of all things.
