I know for me I need to have mindless things on the TV when I am sleeping....things like HSN & QVC.....where there is nothing but talking & nothing that has any kind of plot is the only thing that works for me. Even TV shows like ER or any action TV show causes me to have nightmares even when it is going on during my sleep. I remember one night when I left the TV on another channel & the sound was low, but there was screeming on the TV & the screeming showed up in my dream just as I was waking up to the screaming on the TV.....go figure how quickly our dreams can pick up what in in our external being.

Pas, if you feel like PM'ing me......it is just fine.....I know how it feels to think that something we feel is a trigger to others. The trauma I went through was so different than most others.....it was an ID theft I caught the RN doing & then found out that she had OD'ed my Mother on morphine. Even when the Dr's were trying to find someplace for me to get help, there wasn't a place that knew how to help me with what I was going through.

I usually have pretty strond shoulders so if you need a shoulder to lean on....I will try my best to help you through what you are going through.
