frustrating dream & needles

[jinian]

I just woke up and had to start crying in frustration.
For some reason in my dream I was really angry with my mom, and I needed to get away and calm down. We were in a giant house I've dreamed about before, with all sorts of family people in it too, and every time I found a place that would work to hide out in for a while, either she was already there or she got there right away, and acted -- hmm. Not like everything was fine, but like my wanting to be alone just didn't matter at all. I tried and tried to hide, and couldn't figure out how she was getting to me. And I got meaner and meaner telling her off before running away, too, which made me feel even more awful and space-needing. The last time, I figured out (thoughas it was a dream, this doesn't really work with all the details) that she was reading people's minds to see which way I'd gone.

So I woke up mad and frustrated and put upon, and figured maybe I was so mad at the last part because she wasn't giving anyone else any privacy either.

Analysis? I don't know. Probably has something to do with having problems I can't get away from or fix right now, especially since I was talking to Wim about them right before going to sleep.

Acupuncture went well yesterday, by the way. She was at least able to get rid of the migraine (nifty new visual effect: blind spot in the middle followed by weird scallopy-fractal distortion like the last one) while I was there, though it came back later. I have points on my head to rub and recommended vitamins, plus astrological predictions that I'm probably going to forget before the predicted time of late December/early January arrives.

I get that sometimes, the blind spot in the middle. Sucks.

I'm sure you've tried the obvious diet trigger things?

Thanks.

I've tried cutting out the really common triggers, but I'm about ready to go on white rice for three weeks and see what happens. There's no correlation with anything I can figure out, except not getting enough sleep, which is no fun anyway.

maybe your dream was in part coz your friend was hailing you with stuff right before bed? I've had that thing too but not often (the migraine visual thing).

Sorry about migraine. Ugh. She should come home with you and make sure her poking worked.

I've dreamed about my dad that way. Sometimes I scream at him and slam the door on the closet I push him into.
