Last night was the first night in a very long time that I slept good--I did even want to get out of bed this morning but I did. I slept so well that I had a nightmare which suck but at least I slept.

Nothing freshens the world better than a decent night's sleep.

Nightmares are the pits. On the plus side, you got a good night of sleep, that's the important part.

When I have nightmares I write them down, even if it ends up being scribbles and nonsense, then when I am done I wad up the paper and I toss it into the grill where I set it on fire. I know it doesn't make them go away, or keep me from having them, but it's a nice visual to see the bad thing go away in a way that I can control.

I hope that your next night of sleep has peaceful and pleasant dreams.

The nightmare sucks, but a good night's sleep is probably the greatest thing in the world.
