Thankfully, I've not had any nightmares for years. Well, at least I hadn't - until last night. The first woke me at 4.45am, so I did what I used to do when I got them more frequently - got up, put some lights on, and had something to eat; which on this occasion was a tin of rice pudding...
Yes, I know, eating rice pudding at 4.45am probably isn't very good for me, but you know what? The reality is that almost everybody resorts to unhealthy habits under times of stress - and sometimes it's best to just do whatever it is you need to do in order to get through these times; don't give yourself a hard time - and don't let anybody else do it, either.
I was more concerned about being awake at 4.45am actually - but I soon returned to sleep, albeit sleep with recurring variations of the same nightmare, of which about all I can remember was some homeless girl who seemed to know me, trying to steal money form me and otherwise get me into trouble.
Thanks to the public sector strikes, I'm not working in my usual base today; and instead attending a 'development day' at what is for me a more accessible venue. So I have a few minutes longer at home. Every cloud has a silver lining of sorts, eh?
