Asleep
I was awakened by a dream. It was all too real and far too frightful. Yet, did the dream awaken me or did I flee from the nightmare? I don't know, I don't care. Maybe I do, or maybe I'm confused. That's it. All of it. Or none of the above.
So I got up, wandered around and sat back down again. Looked at my head in my hands from the outside and then wondered why my eyes were swollen shut. The pictures were sharp. Vivid flashes, yet not so much. Fading fast ... BOOM! To the ground crying, begging the fear, taunting angels. I was always in my chair. Always staring straight ahead.
I was awakened by a dream. But I never fell asleep.

Perhaps, Lux. Has happened before ...

'Morning, M. You're OK. If you can look back at it, and write about it, you're OK.
Interesting sensation, though. Maybe not so much in the fear context, still, I even looked up Lux's reference.
If you can look back at it, and write about it, you're OK.

Good morning, my darling girl. Hope you are feeling better now. Sounds like a frightening experience.
Can't tell you how I've missed you. Evenings just aren't the same w/o you, although truly I talk to you in my mind every night, so it's almost like you're there.
I check my e-mail almost every night before I hit the sack at about midnight, so until 3am your time, I'm here...

The intersection of waking life and dreams. Where the borders are muddled and what we know becomes more elastic and open to interpretation or outright contradiction. BF, I think you are a voyager not unacquainted with this dreamworld-real world vortex. Deep breath... again. Repeat. You are fine... taunting angels and all. If they come again, ask them to sit down with you and have a cup of tea. They won't know what hit them. Sleep well tonight.

Take special care, M. Email me if you want to talk about anything. In the meantime, I'll be thinking of you.

I'm fine, dear. Just a moment in time that intersected with timelessness. So very glad you're here.

If you want a cure to bad dreams, Melissa, you can hang out at my house. No one sleeps here. :)
I'm just sayin.

You know I woke up and while I was doing my research I read this. It was -33 degrees. This place leaks like a sieve and I could not feel my feet until ten O'Clock with two pairs of socks on.
Sometimes I appreciate nightmares, because I wake up and think phew, boy am I glad that was a dream.
But look at all your friends out to see how you are doing.
Hang in there.
