dream interpretation

since moving from austin, ptsd has hit me in a major way. i have had dreams filled with anxiety, hurricanes, and strange places. i started having anxiety about being able to go to sleep but have been able to sleep well lately. the dreams are still anxiety producing but at least i can sleep.

after reflecting about my dreams, i realized that i have really been a bit scared of going to sleep. i didn't want to go into the abyss of scary stuff below. i have been fighting it. after thinking about it like beitman's (sp?) abyss. in class it was explained to us as this huge hole that people will try and hold on to either side of so they don't fall down in it. i realized i needed to let myself dream so i may too fall down in it and truly deal with it.
