When the thought came into my mind to blog about this I thought I would do some proper research to share an insightful tale. Okay, many adults have nightmares so I am not alone. I didn't think I was. I was more interested in what research thought the cause may be and tips for more restful slumber. Okay, googling for medical/health information can be a dangerous road to follow. The article wanted to assign some bigger health reasons to the nightmare. I am not arguing that this isn't the case for some but in all reality, I just had a bad dream.
I attribute it to a greater amount of stress at work and more unknowns right now. I am a planner. I like to know my path in terms of x, y, and z. I know I am helping manage the course on race day, Saturday, but found out yesterday, I am helping to set it up too. Okay, no problem. But I didn't have that on my plan. I can adjust, don't get me wrong. But for a mind still wondering what exactly I am doing on Saturday and how I will be accomplishing it in terms of transportation, springing on an "oh yeah, you are doing this Friday and more details will be coming" is hard to manage. And I won't even go into the new tasks that were added to my list of to do's today. I strive to be the best I can be at all times and in my mind, knowledge and planning is the pathway to success.But back to the nightmares. I will be fine but hope they cease so I can get some uneventful, peaceful slumber soon. And it is odd to have two tough nights in a row so I should be good tonight. And believe it or not, I never really remember the content of the nightmare. I have vague whispers of images but can't bring them into focus. I always remember my struggle of pulling myself out of the dream to being awake. Yes, I do realize I am stuck in a bad dream and fight my way awake....and sometimes it ends in my yelling out "help!".
