This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 05, 2007:
I spent a long time dealing with horrific nightmares, where I would wake up terrified with my heart racing and only vague memories of a dream that would fade within minutes. I have not remembered or awoke in a panic in couple years and I actually prefer it.
I have dreams that I strive towards, but these occur in the waking moments.

I have been going through that phase. I am realizing that the dreams I am having are memories of my past that were to powerful for me to deal with then. For a short time I asked God to please stop them until I was able to speak to someone professional about them. I am starting to open up and remember things from my childhood that I had not remembered in YEARS! It's a really fulfilling and empowering process- It feels soo good to come to terms with my past- though you might be able to relate peace out xoxo
Jos, I can absolutely relate. I went to a professional. We even tried hypnosis so I could be in a waking dream state. I would snap myself out of hypnosis screaming. She taught me some techniques to remove the hysteria that I experience when I wake up. She says hopefully some day I will feel like I am in a safe enough of an environment to remember. It is really difficult though isn't it. My brother and sister remember things from our childhood that I have no memory of and I don't know what is more sad, the things that they remember or the fact that I have no memory of it.
