Topic: Nightmares
Darkness suit the eyes and always leads us to sleep.. I have no problem with that. Even with the lights on, it's not an excuse to avoid bad dreams.
My bad dreams, if I remember it right, had started shortly after my father died. I don't believe there's any connection between each, but that was when, just the same.
It is too many times that I woke up in the middle of the night crying.
I separated the dreams of my father out of any other unpleasant ones. The dream about him is more like sad dreams, not bad dreams. In any case, these are the kind of dreams I've been suffering.
It is always a standard pattern. I switch off the lights, close my eyes, drifting through all the unspeakable awful faces, monsters, places, fear, grief over and over again.
Wrapping his arms around me so tight, he put me back to sleep again. I am scared of those nightmares, but not in the way I had scared before I met him. Somewhere inside these all-mixed-up state of mind had been fulfilled and shaped.
"Now tell me, you made love to me last night because you feel like to, or because you wanted me to feel better after that nightmare I've just had?" Such hard question I wouldn't ask if I not really want to know the answer.
"Both" with a smile and love in the eyes, he said.
....and that I know I'll be fine.
