Recently I posted this on Instagram:
Having had night terrors or hallucinations where I wake up to a scream, my own, and see someone/something looming over me, since I was a child now presents different set of possibilities. Always terrifying, but something I’ve become used to now has me considering the possibility of demons or angels. Hard to tell as when one pops up unexpectedly, well, there goes the scream and they scurry away leaving me breathless and confused.(Although night fright is common among persons with dementia and Alzheimer's disease, I don't think it is related since I have had these since I was young.)
We know the tower represents an “aha” moment in our lives. Towers can fall when foundations are weak. Are my foundations weak? Is there a lesson I have not learned? Is there something that I am refusing to face? Seems odd to me that this has been happening for over 50 years and I still can’t connect them to anything in particular.I will hang on to the words, courage, faith, and fighting spirit and wait to see what unfolds.
I got the most interesting response from one person: "Ew how horrid for you 💜💖"
Well, I had to go back and assure her that this is very infrequent, so not really all that horrid. And, as it is not real, there are certainly more awful things that one has to deal with in reality, yes?
