What's on Your Mind

[Insertnamehere]

This morning I woke up screaming 'HELLLLLPPPPP!' after a particularly vivid dream in which the person who made me feel very uncomfortable NYE (in real life) crept in my room (in the dream) and tried getting into bed with me and covering up my mouth.

I asked my housemate if they'd heard me screaming and they said not this time, but the night before they'd heard me shouting out 'NO!!!' in my sleep.

I must have been stressed out this week because I only talk (and when I say talk, usually it's shouting in fear) in my sleep when I'm worried about things.

Have had plenty of similar waking ups myself. Often when I don't want to deal with things that are happening.

Stress is very much the catalyst of many situations like this. Handling stress is key.

I always find it funny how mechanisms that evolved to be of help in particular challenges (i.e: Immune Response, Stress) are counterproductive and damaging if they remain "turned on" for long.
