Hey, Mendalla, strikes me as more of a "night terror" than a "nightmare". Much more common in children. Neurological, maybe? Some wyrd stress?
First night back with my Progressive Group. It was good. Joanna Macy, Creation in Crisis as Spiritual Path. We'll have another week of it. Very Buddhist. For this particular group, Zoom is a more inclusive option. We age, some of us are disabled, driving at night is not good for most of us, and driving at night in winter up here is often dangerous. We meet every Tuesday, via Zoom, from 7:15-8:45. (My advertisement; if you'd like to join us, message me.)
I'm going to depress everyone for two weeks after that with Michael Dowd and his new end of the world schtick...
