Nightmares.

Over the last six days, I have had 4 nightmares about various fears. I don't know why. Weren't nightmares suppose to end by the time I was a teenager? All I know is I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. However, I have begun to figure out ways to keep myself amused when waking up at 4 in the morning. I will now share my knowledge with you :)


Three things to do after you have a nightmare and can't sleep : )

1. This first one may be difficult for some of you, but if you have a sense of humor... This will be easy! Think about the dream from beginning to end. Add humor! If there's a bad guy chasing you, have him fall in a big pile of horse poop. As he's running, have him start sneezing uncontrollably and then fall over a bridge because he can't see where he's going. Have the cookie monster jump out from behind the tree and start chasing him! Ha, sucker.

2. Keep colored pencils... crayons.. markers and paper by your bed. When you can't get back to sleep because of a bad dream you can color! Call me crazy, but it works. I tend to draw really silly pictures which makes me feel better. This one time after I drew a picture of a barn and a cow, I had a dream that I lived on a dairy farm. I dreamed my drawing : ) So draw happy!

3. If you have a night stand by your bed, keep a book there! Or if you're on a lofted bed like I am, keep a book under your pillow. Make sure the book is really silly : ) If it's something you serious, your mind might try to analyze it and not let you go to sleep.

And I am now done rambling :)
