Hmmm--I figure there's probably another way besides tea you could find the same active ingredients (eleuthero, ginger, and chamomile in Tension Tamer; kava, feverfew, and rosemary in Head-Aid Tea). Or I guess you could drink it cold :) It's better than headaches--or losing your liver. . .BTW, can I have your liver? :)
There are also exercises that can sometimes help. One is to lie on your back, raise your head as if looking at your toes, and breathe slowly and deeply for up to 3 minutes; then lower your head, take a few deep breaths, and relax.
I have these, too :) Another version of this I have is that I go to my high school graduation and discover I forgot to take one class I needed to graduate, so I've got to go back to summer school--talk about a nightmare!!! :)
In a book about snake-worship cults called The Cult of the Serpent, a scholar named Balaji Mundkur cited studies showing that all higher mammals have an instinctive fear reaction to the image of snakes, and even in human cultures which come from areas with no snakes people may have nightmares about snakes. It seems to be a very deep subconscious fear even in people who aren't consciously afraid of snakes. I will sometimes have nightmares about being near a pool of snakes and/or other threatening reptiles--and fish--there are a few other scary animals that often serve the same function in my dreams. I think maybe that when the subconscious wants to symbolize fear it naturally picks the image of a threatening animal. Freud mentioned that most little kids have nightmares about animals from the zoo.
I wouldn't talk widely about that one...
Yes, I think that's another thing that can trigger it. Sometimes I think the symbolism in dreams comes from the body and the mind picks an image that represents what the body is feeling, and sometimes I think it works in reverse where the mind is in a certain mood and it expresses it through an image associated with a certain bodily feeling, like in this case losing physical control. Pretty interesting to me to try to figure out how all that works! :)
Is that bad?
For some workplaces, that sounds pretty normal :) BTW, in this dream do you work at a post office? :)
So it's a daydream about a dream, which would be a dream within a dream--okay, you're making my head hurt! Could you send an attachment of Wild Turkey, please? :)
Have a good night!
I tried to do that. I poured a shot into the keyboard, but now my computer is just staring back at me and won't respond. It just giggles.
