Over the span of the last two weeks, I\u2019ve been having a stream of unpleasant dreams.\u00a0 This is somewhat notable for me, because I typically do not remember my dreams all too well to begin with, and I usually will have forgotten them by the time I\u2019m brushing my teeth in the morning.\u00a0 However the last two weeks, I\u2019ve been having some particularly unpleasant ones that I wish were forgotten upon awakening, but I remembered them regardless of snoozing and returning to sleep, or getting up and hoping they\u2019d go away instantaneously.<\/span><\/p>\n The details are all blurs and blobs of unsavory occurrences that I can\u2019t really explain even if I really tried, but the two things that stood out the most were that in two instances in these dreams, a person was shot.\u00a0 I\u2019m going to refrain who specifically they were, because I don\u2019t wish such an omen on even people I don\u2019t really like much less those that actually matter to me, but the fact of the matter is that in two separate dreams over the last two weeks, there was a gunshot victim.<\/span><\/p>\n Inquiring with friends resulted in the fairly consensus opinion that dreams exist to work out emotions and thoughts throughout the days, and in some cases, dreams sometimes manifest from anxieties or stresses from a day-to-day basis.\u00a0 The thing is that I don\u2019t necessarily think life is at all that bad right now; I\u2019m not really stressed, but I\u2019m also not without at least one niggling anxiety in the back of my mind; which what it is, seems to be a far cry from people getting shot.\u00a0 Things aren\u2019t perfect, things could be better in some regards, but I don\u2019t have that many genuine complaints to be causing such anxiety to where I\u2019m having terrible dreams, I think.<\/span><\/p>\n A part of me wants to believe that this string of bad dreams is somewhat of a sign that something unpleasant might be on the horizon; maybe, hopefully, nobody I know getting shot, but in the past, whenever I\u2019ve had really, gut-sinking bad feelings, there have been some pretty pain-in-the-ass instances like fender benders or getting a speeding ticket.\u00a0 Given the fact that I was capable of making it into work on Friday, there are still areas near my house that are oft-shaded and therefore the last places to de-ice, so I suppose I should really be on the lookout for black\u00a0guys<\/span>\u00a0ice when I\u2019m in my car while it\u2019s still chilly.<\/span><\/p>\n What really sucks about it all though is that whenever I\u2019m having these unpleasant dreams, no matter if I sleep six hours or ten, I don\u2019t feel at all rested when I wake up, and the stress my brain puts me through over the nighttime hours puts me on edge during the day when I\u2019m awake and operating, and it has been pointed out to me that it has apparently been affecting my mood, and not necessarily in the most pleasant of ways.<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, I don\u2019t easily tire at night, no matter how late it gets.\u00a0 Caffeine really isn\u2019t an issue, because all I consume is 12 ounces of Starbucks between 8-10 a.m. on weekdays, and hardly any afterward, and no sodas these days.\u00a0 Needless to say, deciding to go to sleep is somewhat forced out of necessity, especially on work nights, and given the string of unpleasant dreams I\u2019ve been having lately, the thought of going to sleep just isn\u2019t that appealing.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the span of the last two weeks, I\u2019ve been having a stream of unpleasant dreams.\u00a0 This is somewhat notable for me, because I typically do not remember my dreams all too well to begin with, and I usually will have forgotten them by the time I\u2019m brushing my teeth in the morning.\u00a0 However the … Continue reading I wonder if I should be concerned<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[34,15],"class_list":["post-42315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-dreams","tag-og"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=42315"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42317,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42315\/revisions\/42317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=42315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=42315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=42315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
