Hi everyone. Rough night. I had an intense nightmare that I was in a building with two girl friends when a horrible lightening storm started to cause fires across the city. Most notable about my dreams are the locations. I can’t tell you why I was in the city, or in a brownstone building, but it was scary – for those that don’t know, I am very much a country girl, and have anxiety when traveling to New York.…..so I already felt like a fish out of water in this dream. We watched the lightening from our window, and it struck the building across from us and it exploded. My friend shouted that we better evacuate the building, and we rushed out. As soon as we were out of the building, I woke up to Alan screaming.
Now this part is not a dream. He woke up as I woke up. It was 3AM and he started to scream that he wanted to go on the porch. I held him in my arms and told him that it was dark out and we couldn’t go outside right now. It took about 5 minutes to calm him down. I began singing him "porch songs" that I made up as best I could.....
I can’t tell you if I screamed in my dream which woke him up, or whether it was a coincidence that we woke up at the same time, or if maybe our mother/child perceptions were in synch and he had the same type of scary dream. Regardless, I wasn’t able to get back to sleep, and have medicated myself with a dose of Tylenol to cut the edge off of a horrible headache…
