Hi Topaz, Hi JL!!! Welcome and thank you for your posts! You know, when you've been around a while you gather a smallish group of folks you check on, and who check on you when they can....you sometimes forget that lots of others read your thread!
About the dreams, ladies, I had a LOONG dark period where I remembered very few if any. In fact it's only been in this last couple of weeks that my dreams appear to be returning!
I ABSOLUTELY believe that aside from the alarm dreams (like you had about your H leaving Topaz, like my dreams of "the blonde") our psyche DOES try to protect us by having us forget our dreams before we can grasp them.
You're also right that we all dream every night, it's the recall of them that's the tricky part! I've solved that one of late by sleeping in...our REM periods are longest towards morning (or afternoon as the case may be )
Not much to report so far today. Woke up very early with what feels like a wee, partial intestinal blockage. Stabbing pains on my right side for a change! Gotta love when the body decides to shake things up!
I fired off some e-mails to folks at work (I had an important meeting, but figured groaning and cursing might distract the others ) and then crawled back into bed. Just emerged! CJ came in, curled up behind me and let me know it was not quite, but close to dinner time.
