I hate those days when I wake up feeling like the dream was real and then I can’t seem to shake it off for the rest of the day!

Last night I had a dream where a bunch of friends and I were in a house hanging out. A friend and I were in another room checking out pictures on the computer. After a while, we both saw the door open slowly and we couldn’t see who it was since it was pitch dark. We started laughing because we thought a friend was playing around and was getting ready to scare us. Two guys we didn’t know busted in and started shooting at us then left the room. I started bawling and didn’t know what to do and when I looked over at my friend, he was dead. I ran out of the room and saw that all 10+ friends were shot and laying all over the place. None of them were moving. I saw Tyler, my husband, faced down on the floor. I was hysterically crying while trying to call 911. It was horrible!

I hate it when I have bad dreams like this because it feels so real like I went through that horrible ordeal but I’m really grateful that it was just a dream.

This is normal anyways…. supposedly I have a history of waking up in the middle of the night screaming bloody murder and almost giving Tyler a heart attack. One time I thought the house was on fire for real and I was this close to jumping out the window until Tyler confirmed me the house was not on fire.  Also there has been countless of times where I’ve woken up thinking there was a boogeyman in the room ready to murder us and poor Tyler would have to get up and check the entire house just for me so I would feel safe and go back to bed.

Maybe I need to buy a dreamcatcher but I’m not a kid anymore so it might not work. By the way, remember those things?!

I’m jealous of those people who can easily dream of puppies, kittens, cupcakes & rainbows!

Anyone else going through the same thing with bad dreams?

We tried getting rid of Tyler’s forehead lines before taking pictures.
He swears he’s stuck with them forever.

- I cannot go to bed unless the door is closed & locked and the closet has to be closed. If it’s not closed I’m going to wake up in the middle of the night screaming thinking that there is someone in closet and force Tyler out of bed to close it. Fortunately he never remembers doing this the next day.

- The window blinds has to be faced down because I would rather have stalkers, robbers, or serial killers get on a ladder to look down through the blinds than easily look up. Sometimes I have Tyler go outside to assure me he can’t see through them.

- I cannot wake up the first time the alarm goes off. I’ll set the alarm an hour before I have to wake up and reset it every 5-10 minutes and then I’ll finally get up! This drives Tyler crazy!

- I have long hair so that means it takes longer to dry my hair. After I shower & put make up on I always crawl back in bed and sleep for 10 more minutes to air dry my hair a little bit before I blow dry it.

- My current food obsession is a fried egg sandwich! I love the yolk!

Do you have any obsessions that are random?

I’m thinking about getting a security alarm installed in our new house.

I’m always waking up in the middle of the night thinking that there’s a boogeyman in the room ready to attack me. I always make Tyler get out of bed to check the entire place to make sure the boogeyman doesn’t exist.

The same exact thing happens with my Mom and even one time she thought my Dad was the boogeyman and ran around the house while my Dad was chasing her to get her to calm down. I’m so glad that has not happened with me and Tyler.

I wonder if this happens to me because when growing up I knew my parents could hear everything even hear me turning the pages while reading Nancy Drew books. I knew I was safe in their hands. With Tyler, he’s hard of hearing and cannot hear a thing at night because he’s heavily sleeping and snoring!

Maybe I need to stop reading the news about all these bad things happening.
