Dreams

So even with sleeping pills, last night I could not get to sleep. I eventually drifted off sometime after 4.15 am (that's the last time I remember checking the clock) and had awful dreams until I woke up at 8.00. I had a binge-dream, where I consumed a giant tub of coffee ice cream and a tub of peanut butter, along with a bag of chocolate chip cookies and then I half-woke up in a blind panic. Idk how I managed to fall back to sleep, but I did...

Then I had this really long and involved dream that took all the issues I have with various family members (parents, sisters & brothers, step-parents, cousins, aunts, etc.) and combined them into one giant chunk of Hell. I won't get into details because explaining my family requires charts and diagrams and long explanations (and there's nothing more tedious than hearing a recollection of someone else's dreams), but it was pretty bad. There was binge-drinking on the part of Mum and an aunt, bed-wetting by cousins, dogs with tapeworms, houses reeking of piss and vomit and excrement and me being trapped in those houses, and lost of yelling and screaming until I was eventually rescued by one of my cousins, but even that turned sour in the end.

It was one of those dreams that leaves you in a serious funk when you wake up. Even now, I've been up and about for over 90 minutes, I still can't shake it. This is going to be One Of Those Days.
