Dreams
I’ve had vivid dreams since I was a toddler, my earliest being me floating down the stairs of my childhood home around age 5. Last night I dreamed I was in my room of my current house, with a strange girl lying on my bed petting my dog who passed away years ago. My dog looked just like he did when he was younger and this girl looked so real. Her face and features are just sitting with me now. She looked up and just stared at me, and I physically felt a wave of dread in my actual body while yelling for my husband in the dream. I woke up panicked, heart racing, actually calling out for him. I’ve never seen this girl before but every detail of her is stuck with me and I have this overwhelming sense of dread and sadness. This is so common for me and tends to happen in a light sleep or nap state. What the fuck is wrong with me?
