I am sorry you all are ahving such bad dreams. I too have nightmares and have times when exhaustion is better than closing my eyes. My dreams are memories, surfacing. They are real and really bad...no zombies that I can set to imagination...they are my dad. I cannot get away from them. They are also present at tiems when I am awake.
I hope you guys find some rest...your body needs it. Many safe hugs...
