codeine dreams

a few minutes ago, i was jolted awake by the most terrifying nightmare, one in which i was sleeping and was jolted awake - and i can't even go into more detail than that. but as i stood trying to still my racing heart and get my bearings, i looked out and saw this image of nighttime tranquility. in an effort to find reality and lose the dream, i post this for you.

This is a beautiful picture. Had it been a little clearer you could have had a massive print on a bedroom wall and looked at it whenever you got jolted awake. I have one such calming picture as I have frequent nightmares...

Sorry you had a bad night but that picture is fantastic.

I can relate to that 2 am awakening. I often wake up in the middle of the night. We had a beautiful full moon last night but my camera wasn't nearby. So I went back to sleep. When I wake up early, I tell myself what House would say--it's just brain chemistry.
