Madoc woke me up from another bad dream. His motive was not altruistic.

It was 6:15, almost 30 minutes past their usual breakfast time. He and his bandmates, the Cat-egory 5 Purricanes, were on the verge of extinction due to starvation.

GHAAA! The nightmare involved my late, beloved Boudicca. Somehow she got tangled in a shredded sheer curtain and was strangling. I had to RUSH to find scissors and then run back to where she was. Yes, I ran with scissors. I got to her just in time.

That was the least disturbing of last night's dreams.

Now I'm off to buy more food for these all encompassing sweethearts.

1. They are support cats!

They know when to wake you up from bad dreams!

And it's good that they are there to give you something else to focus on after you are awake and they love you no matter what. Well, most of the time.

2. Cat-egory 5 Purricanes are the best

3. Cat-egory 5 Purricanes! How lucky you are that they take such

good care of you!

I am sorry that you are having such bad dreams. That one was truly awful. Does chamomile tea before bed ever help?

[Siwsan]

5. I had even taken anxiety medication, last night

That usually works. I think this whole trial and the ramifications if he's not convicted are just feeding my already bad anxiety issues. Fortunately my awake hours are full of sweet and cuddly fur babies. Just about every time I walk out the door, Dylan is waiting for me and he immediately goes into rollies mode.

I have some chamomile tea. I'll give it a try.

6. huggggggs to you and all your furbabies.

Many years ago, I had a young friend who experienced night terrors. I had a tea made up for him, chamomile, eucalyptus, and mint. Had him drink it half an hour before bedtime. It seemed to help.

Believe me, I understand. The possibilities are just too scary. Going to cuddle my baby now, who has taken to sleeping next to my head.

4. Glad you were able to rescue Boudicca even if it was a dream.

Sorry you're having bad dreams. I don't have many dreams at all.

7. One of our cats jumps up on top of a dresser and then jumps down making loud thump on the floor

to wake us up. He does it repeatedly if we don't respond. Unfortunately, he does it starting about 45 minutes before feeding time.

8. Camomile tea.

Calms the mind and you sleep better.
No intrusive thoughts.

Works for me anyway.

And 'Running with Scissors?' Oh No!
