Another nightmare

Just had another nightmare over the weekend. In my nightmare, I was again probably 5 or so years old. My mom was going crazy again, chasing me around the house with a stick; ready to beat the crap out of me.

I woke up and it was 4am. I was so... don't even know what to call it... couldn't go back to sleep. Now, my sleep pattern is all messed up.

I can totally relate to the nightmares. The terror.

Best medicine I can think of is watch a comedy, any comedy you have seen before and find funny.
It will help.

You are reliving your past, and sadly it was one you should not have experienced. I suggest each time you have these experiences you attempt to make some form of logical sense of them. Your mother was venting her frustration on you with it being highly unlikely that you was the cause of same. Your mother was a sick woman, I do hope she is or got well in the end. Take care of yourself, and don't make the common mistake of repeating errors of your past in the future.
