Dreaming

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I have nightmares every night. Last night I came home from work exhausted, hurting and sick. I took a bath and went straight to bed. Then, strangely enough, I had one of the best dreams I've had in a long time. It was one of those amazing weather days—sunny, warm but not too warm. We were at "home" but "home" was unique because we shared a yard with my parents. Our dogs were playing in the large yard—as my parents recently lost their dog, this was a new one I haven't met yet. My sister, Nikki, called and wanted to know if I wanted to go on walk. She was taking her dog for a walk and wanted to know if Kenya and I wanted to join them. Apparently, they only live a couple blocks away in this dream. I remember thinking "Wow, it's so great to live this close together. This is so much fun." Then I woke up—sick, with a headache, to the rainy, dreary day OH has to offer and my family all 1000 miles away. Maybe I can nap soon and find another "happy place" instead of the usual scary place I usually find—especially given how "scary" my awake world is today. :-D
