I have always had terrible nightmares... several a night since I was a very little girl..

Last night.. my nightmare was so very real... sometimes.. I do think they are real.. and I act on the information.. so have to be careful..

But I dreamed... that I was homeless...

For anyone that has gone thru the experience of actually being homeless.... you know how terrifying it can be..

So I re-lived that experience... and it was so real again in the nightmare.. so very real..

I was feeling all the old feelings... being scared.. the worry... being hungry... being cold... struggling to protect my body from others...

When I woke up.. I just wanted to kiss everything in my house.. my home is older.. but it is my home.. and I am so very grateful to have it..I went to the cupboard.. and saw food.. yepper.. I have food... and was just so relieved...

I wish the feelings of the nightmare went away when the dream ends... but.. the feelings linger and linger...
