Bad Dream

Do you know how if you have a bad dream that feeling sort of lingers for awhile?

*sigh*

I just had a terrible dream about the Juggler. I feel awful, angry and frustrated, about a situation which is mild iRL but was extremely severe in the dream. No one else is awake right now, so I can't distract myself out of it. I'm a little worried that this feeling will carry on for a bit -- it's enough to make me act irrational at this point.

Acting irrational is the intellectual problem with it. The real problem is that I feel terrible. I'm hoping I'll bounce back from it quickly, because I've been doing that lately...

It's interesting how the root factor involved in remaining undisturbed about things is trust. If I trust that things will be okay, if I believe that they will be, then I tend to see incidents as external things that effect me very little on the way towards getting what I want. If I don't believe everything will be okay, then any incident which comes up looks like The End and so is a big disturbing deal.

It's a scary thing to sit here and try to trust someone.
