Nightmare

Posted on by curioussteph

I.

Ominous in its

Anonymity, the threat

Infiltrates my dream.

 

II,

Uncertain about

What it is and certain that

It is unwanted.

 

III.

Proofreading each page

Of my thesis. When turned, the

Words fall to the floor.

 

IV.

Fundraising on both

PBS and NPR

    1. Actually, I just donate to both organizations. Struggling this week as they are both fundraising, interrupting my listening/watching habits. Very minor as nightmares go. Thanks for reading!

    1. That is actually a dream I had after finishing my senior thesis–30 pages, along with about 300 scientific citations. In the old days, manually typewritten, no copy yet made. I was proofing in my dream, and the words fell off the page as I turned them. My all time favorite anxiety dream!

    1. whatever floats your boat, Marilyn? I used to wander a building that resembled my elementary school hunting for the room to take the exam for the math class I never went to. Terror enough without a dress or undress code.

June 2017: I started writing Curioussteph.com with this: By day, I'm a retired family physician turned body-oriented psychotherapist. I garden, travel, am owned by 2 elderly cats, figure skate and am training for my first triathlon. April 2020: Three years later, the two elderly cats have crossed the rainbow bridge, and we now have an 11 year old adoptee, Ziggy. I'm done with triathlon and skating for the time being, and I am still physically active, running, biking and walking. It's now the time of the coronavirus, which is affecting us all.
