Dreams

I continue to have very vivid dreams for the last 10 days. 
It doesn't make any sense. The dreams are not of relaxing things and I wake up feeling tired and anxious. I changed up some of the supplements I was taking in case that was the cause but nothing has changed. 

It is 1am right now and I am dreading going to sleep. It is a new worrisome topic every night. I feel like I have good control over my thoughts when I am awake but none when I sleep. I have started to need caffeine to get through the day. 

My bother has a theory about this. He also noticed that when his body is fighting something like a cold or fever, he gets scary dreams. So maybe my body is fighting something and my dreams are somehow connected to that. I don't know but tonight I am thinking of taking some melatonin to see if I notice any difference. I just need a solid 8 hours - of no weird dreams - to get good rest. 
Damn sorry to hear that, mam!

I believe there's something to your altered 
sleep
 that you've been dealing with since you quit your job.

I am sorry about this, Keni. What I find helpful for me is intentionally making time to listen to unwinding music and affirmations( in whispers) to calm me. I get such sounds from my Spotify.
 I have the best sleep when my mind hears calming sounds and words just before I close my eyes. 
My body and mind tend to feel safe. Maybe you can explore that as well if you haven't already.

Thank you Sheila and Sir Abe. I am trying to get to the bottom of it. The last 2 days have been good. Melatonin helped to shut things down.
