Ya' this practice at centering, balancing and getting better at responding to my needs too, rather than ignoring them or defying them, is making life mostly look good again.

I'll say though, my last nightmare was horrifying. It was weeks ago, but it was when my jealous sister was in town and close to home. I dreamn't that my daughter had been abducted, and after searching frantically for her, I found her just as dear o' sis had poured gasoline all over her and was about to set her ablaze. It sounds awfully horrible, I know, it was the most horrifying and negative thing I could ever have as a nightmare. I'm only saying something now about it, bc it inwardly upset me so, so bad, and yet I've told no one.

Anyone I could've told around here, I feared, would've minimized and possibly de-valued how upsetting this nightmare was by saying, 'It was only a dream.' or God forbid they say, 'Don't be upset' or worse, not listen as if I was talking aloud to myself. ...............ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Well, my daughter is safe and generally very happy and my sister is many, many, many, many, many miles away from here by now.
