i'm back on track now. the dreams are still there, just not waking me up as much. i have been taking my ativan before bed, so that might be a factor and my dad gave me a few of his sleeping pills as a fallback in case it starts up again.

i was short on sleep a lot as a kid between constant nightmares and a body clock that is incompatible with the normal world. the nightmares have gone away and my job is conducive to my natural sleep pattern, so i fare better now. it still pops up from time to time, though, especially in times of stress and this has been a major time of stress for me. but i'll keep trucking along, same as i ever have.

it's good to see you and i hope you are well
