Taking bad dreams or nightmares out of the ear

May 2, 2008 Barbara No comments

Morning!

The good news is that after approximately 15 hours of sleep yesterday, my right bicep is feeling much better. I will bow out of BJJ today however, no sense in tempting the gods! Adult self defense….well, I’ll show up of course but don’t know if I’ll participate yet.

It was truly a weird experience. Obviously, sleep DOES help a lot; witness my pain having vanished. But yesterday, I was ready to hit the emergency room, it was so agonizing. Just goes to show that give nature time to heal, and nature does what she can.

Woke up this morning to my son telling me he had a bad dream last night. Thus, I fixed him by having him lie down next to me and jiggling his ear (that’s “looking inside to find the bad dream”). Then I said, yay! I found it! and moved my hand away (that’s “taking the bad dream out”). Then I squooshed my fingers together (pulverizing the bad dream) and then I let him blow it all away.

I’ve been doing this now for years and years; it always results in my kids immediately letting go of the bad dream and starting the process of forgetting it. I’ll let them know that the dream might come back, but it no longer has the power to bother them if they remember it was taken out once before.

Workwise, all of my PR came back for my flagship sites (yay!) so I have lots to do. I’m glad it’s Friday; the Ling family deserves a good rest.

Time to make the donuts,

Barbara
