Bad Dream

[greenstorm]

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.

yah ... I get that sort of feeling once in a while only it probably has the opposite effect on me than it appears to have with you.

I tend to have one of a dozen different recurrent dreams (apart from pre-deja vue moments that is) but they leave me with a wonderful feeling of energy and enthusiasm for my day (even after the scary near death type ones).

Trust is important and should be the default setting for any biological system, albeit opening up that particular security setting can leave you open to having negative code run against you both those who should not be trusted. However, if you leave your trust settings to tight, you miss out on all sorts of wonderful pages, wonderful animations and the varied wonderments of life.

Just make sure you have a good firewall that keeps that kind of code from every reaching you in the first place.

it just seemed to make the most sense in my head to describe it like that.
