I hate that your going through this grizmom. It is really difficult when the dreams start getting effected because there is really no control we have over them. One thing I did when I was kid and prone to nightmares... I would think of silly little things as I drifted off.. like... counting sheep... but..Make each one of the sheep tie-dyed... or maybe...think about your cousin and how nice it was to be able to catch up.

As for Cloudy days..that can be miserable... but whenever the rain does go away... even if just for a few minutes... Walking outside... and being able to look at the world with your eyes Wide open is pretty soothing. Without the sun beating down and making you squint. Listening to the birds sing for you.... regardless of who you are or what you may be struggling with, they sing.

4-leaf clover treasure hunts are also something to turn a cloudy blah day into something a little more fun.
