**trigger warning for bad dream**
I had this horrible dream this morning that I was kidnapped, held hostage for years and tortured constantly. I was terrified and afraid in the dream. It's taken me almost an hour to shake it off. I felt like I needed to connect with T so I called her office just to listen to her voice and leave a quick message. I told her I didn't need a call back but just needed to hear her voice. Connecting to someone outside myself was very helpful. What a vivid, awful dream it was. Thank goodness I could call T and listen to her encouraging voice.  It's also nice to be able to share here on PC about the terrible dream and having a connection with T.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
