In this week’s Sleep Diaries, a 27-year-old child and adolescent psychodynamic therapist learns how to stop her highly sensitive nature working against her.
Number of hours sleep you wish you got each night:I clench my teeth and have anxiety-producing dreams every night. The dreams vary in intensity but are always extraordinarily vivid and come in mass numbers each night. I often wake up in the morning remembering not only one or two dreams but more than five, all of which encompass some anxious series of events. I’ve tried dream analysis and dream journaling but this only intensifies my dreams and causes me to remember more details upon awakening.
I watch some TV and then my partner and I take our cats out in the apartment hallway to explore . We do that with tea and alternate between chatting and sitting quietly while we laugh and observe the cats’ exploration. Afterwards we go inside and turn on calming music while we get ready for bed. I get home from work around 7:30pm. It’s Friday and my partner and I have friends over. They’re already there when I get home and we order Thai food before eating around 8:15pm. We have a glass of wine and just sit and talk with them until they leave around 10pm. It was really nice catching up with them and we wish they could’ve stayed longer.
Eventually my dreams go from nightmares to very happy dreams. I dream about my family and connection and laughter, and harmony between every animal and being in my world. I dream within dreams. My alarm goes off and I keep snoozing so I can stay in this world – it’s perfect.My partner and I cuddle into the morning until I get out of bed at 10:30am to start my day. My headache is nearly gone. We have tea and I shower and then eat some leftovers for brunch.
“We head over to a friend’s place around 9pm to catch up and play games. It’s very connective and fun, and we get home around 12:30am.”I wake up the next morning at 10:30am feeling rested. My partner and I eat eggs for breakfast and go grocery shopping.
