Oh.

Oh, hey. Full-blown severe and absolutely unwanted fibro flare. Feels so much like a real infection that I am starting to wonder. Taking stuff just in case. Therapeutic doses of vitamins C and D, oregano oil, elderberry, neem.

There. Is. Pain. Everywhere. My nociceptors are screaming so loudly I cannot hear myself. It's as though I've sprung a leak and pain is flooding everywhere, all kinds of pain. Choose a pain adjective. I have it.

Time to do battle. Yes, I am taking stuff and treating myself, thank you in advance for any "You should try..." and "Have you tried..." suggestions.

Hello, Luna My Luna. Please purr louder for me. *headbutt snuggle*

I'm sorry :( Maybe we're feeding off each other today, because I just entered into a nasty flare from hell about 20 minutes ago.

*hugs and love* No suggestions. Just love.

Quite possibly. This one really just came from nowhere. You know, it makes me wonder what might happen if we spend a day physically next to each other!

It's an interesting thought (though don't catch my Lupus, haha...;)

I tend to have a weird effect on people when they are near. When my best friend spends the night, he has the MOST intense, memorable dreams ever. When I had a roommate before Toby and I married, she and I would share dreams. Just - little things like that. So knowing that you and I are both spiritual people (not saying religious, just spiritual...) it would definitely be interesting.

Well, now I have to ask: How were your dreams last night? Because mine were incredibly intense.

Interestingly, I had a very intense dream last night - and actually, it was about the best friend I mentioned who sometimes spends the night here. It was so intense I woke up sweating and shaking - and I'd drugged myself to death in order to sleep last night (I rarely do that, but with the stress of yesterday, I felt the need...) But it was still strong enough to wake me out of my drug coma.

Can you share what your dream/s was/were? That is strange... I wonder if there is a common theme.

I also woke up with my piece of jasper stone - that my best friend gave me (the one from my dream last night) - in bed with me. And I didn't move it there. Toby and I are startled at how it somehow got from my coffee table to under my sheets. And because of the angle of the couch (which has been my bed) and the table, the cats couldn't have knocked it. And I've never been one to pick up things or move around in my sleep. So... weird night last night.

Mine were about being surrounded by friends and acquaintances. A massive party in what looked like either a mansion or ballroom or some very large lived-in building. I kept finding corners and places to sit and be away, and people would come find me, in ones and twos and threes, but no more than that. Lots of talking, laughing, music, dancing... It was actually very realistic. I woke up with Luna licking my face.

I was having a lot of trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, but once I began dreaming, it was very deep.

My dream involved something similar, although ended differently. I was in a local mall, but it was filled with only my friends, and people slept in the stores, like a college dorm. I had a small bedroom in one of the stores, and I was trying to be social, chatting with everyone, but my body was hurting and being - well, my body, as normal. It was extremely realistic.

My best friend was there, and he asked what was wrong. I started crying and said, "I need to study for a chemistry exam but will fail. I fail at chemistry" (seems like a loaded statement). Then I said, "plus, I hurt, and I don't want to." He put an arm around my shoulder and steered me into my room in the mall.

There was music all around us, pumping through the building. Someone was in my room - a girl - but I kicked her out. I sat on the bed with my friend, and immediately, he said, "I mean this - I will make you better." Then he kissed me. Things got very intimate from there, and we ended up in bed together. But I woke up before there was sex.

So, there are common themes - a crowded place, tons of people we knew, music pumping all around, a realistic sort of set-up. Not the same thing, but - still, interesting.

Aw, I hate dreams that stop right before the sex! I have those often. If not with Adam, with women I know and women I've never seen.

Yes, very interesting that there was a common thread!

[oneonthefence.livejournal.com]

I KNOW! I hate that too. It would have been interesting to have seen what happened... but in my dreams, I usually wake up before I have sex. VERY obnoxious. It's such a tease.

But there was a common thread, so that is interesting! We must have been on somewhat of the same wavelength last night/this morning...
