Dear MSF, ~ I agree with Lynn, about breaking the thread. I do the same thing as you, re: going back into the same dream throughout the night. However, I purposely try to do this, because my dreams tend to be wish-fulfilling! The sad part, is when you would rather be in your dreams than living your life, you know life is not too fulfilling! I wish I could make you a pretty picture or even give you a smilie, but my computer says "no". Maybe it's my security system, I don't know. I understand that dreams are a necessary part of working things out, but some people don't recall them, and I believe that Lynn is right about not having to go back into them. Break the thread, like she said. billieJ
