Strange crazy end to the night. No wonder folks with this ... whatever it is ... are nuts. I actually woke up this morning with the "knowledge" that my car was in Detroit and I'd have to go get it this morning.

Weird?

What time is my flight to Detroit and where in Detroit is my car? Nutty as a fruit cake.

@2200 - turnin

@0300 - soaked totally, not pillow, bottom sheet, put down towel, changed. no memory of the terror. do have a memory of waking up many times and think that tie was going slowly. Nothing written on pad; so this may be a dream. That is dreamed waking up so much, but actually did NOT? Confused.

@0415 - calmed down, back to sleep, felt calmness and peacefulness just take over. Weird? Marine corps dream. No sense.

Sunday

Went to dinner with the "out of law" niece and her hubbie ... Drank a lot of beer. (not drunk, just a lot)

@2315 -- turned in. Slept well and right away

@0235 -- terror; no sweat; hard to get back to sleep

@0305 -- a continuation?

@0430 -- wide awake! Wrote summary.

No sweat. Everything perfectly dry.

Very bad  "security by value" argument; very contentious meetings with many confrontational arguments.nose to nose yelling.

Woke calmed back 15 min

Right back into the same terror

Literally had to finish the movie with all the wild emo before I could wake up

And stop this wild ride

45 minutes and two wc to calm to where I can write it

Not sure I can go back to sleep

Very wide awake and wide eyed

Argh!

@0540 back to sleep

@0900 up feel drained

@0935 conclusion: this provides insight into a possible reason why both parents drank and were nuts. If you don't have a good handle on this set of symptoms, it could make you nuts. Dreams and reality merge. Hard to sort out.  Hmmm, so drinking doesn't solve it, but does have a moderating effect.

Turned in at 2345

Slept thru the night with only two WC visits

REPORT: Friday 2012-12-07 @ 0700

@2141 turn in

@2334 shirt damp; wc

@0042 wc

@0342 major bad terror; vivid; soaked shirt to need change; pillow dry; sheet damp by small of back; dream content -- "late getting home; driving across fields of neat grass; no signs; Ev has sores on her leg and needed to go to the hospital and I was out and around not tending to her." Very disturbing. At least 15 minutes getting back to sleep.

@0405 still upset. To where, I got up and sat on the side of the bed and kept thinking "It's not real!" Finallly able to lay down again and back to sleep.

@0555 awake ahead of the alarm, Legs ache like I'd been running. "Cold", but skin warm. WC. Starboard ear itchy and damp. Port nostril closed. (Yes, I did use the afrin before bed.) Lazed thru the three alarms.

@0630 Up feet on floor.

Conclusion -- bad night.

@0700 Don't feel too bad considering the day.

(Note: thinking back this morning  she NEVER had sores on her legs. Weird brain I inherited. No wonder my parent were both nuts. It could be easy to confuse fact from fiction. Writing this stuff down helps sort it all out?)

Pretty good night last night.

@2245 - turn in; right to sleep

@0047 - wc; right back to sleep

@0344 - awoke; damp collar; disturbed; dreamed about "iron chef". (Honestly, don't ever remember watching the show.) Tossed and turned; back to sleep

@0550 - awake before the alarm; mind racing with all the must do items.

@0600 - alarm; shut off; laid back down; just not ready to get going.

@0615 - alarm; still racing trying to get thoughts in order

@0630 - alarm; still racing; thoughts running wild; couldn't rest; might as well get up.

Interesting. Very calm this morning. No anxiety or upset; a certain sense of quiet sadness. Heard a commercial for a charity saying their goal is to make "everyone healthy and happy"; is that even a valid goal? With that stupidity in my mind, it's time to go. At least if I'm going to consider stupidity, then I might as well get paid for it. LOL!

Wow, what a night. I can understand why folks with the same problem go nuts.

@2200 -- turned in. laffed at old BBT episodes and one new HIMYM (that show is trashy now. not as funny).

@0105 -- WC

@0410 -- WC

@0630 -- woke is sweat. Back, base, collar; not front. Sheet damp by small of back. "Terror". In the sense it was the most pronographic dream I ever remember. Make a great horror movie. Snip of someone's hair place on the end of a grotesque alien's hair bonds and turns the person into a sex crazed nudist. The person has to clip their own hair and offer to the alien. Then it bonds and they go to freenzy. I woke up before I find out the horrible end. LOL! IT wasn't so real and so vivid, it would by hysterical.

No wonder this condition drives folks nuts. Came away from it with an unusal sense of peace and calm.

Wonder if this can be classified as a "night terror".

Boy, that alien was ugly and the gals were busty.

Even writing this now makes smile at the silliness.

As "night terrors" go, this one was pretty good.

Maybe I am going nuts?

Maybe I missed a career in the soft porn industry?

@2200 Turn in -- Tired; long intense day of meetings. Jint-Skin game was boring. And, I was tired.

@0227 Vivid terror. No contemporaneous note of topic, that means I no memory of it. Other than it was scary and vivid.
