Night Shift

Just came through on my end too, @Faith-and-Hope, lovely. 🙂

@Mazarita Talking about the 'big stuff' is often painful but I think it helps us work through it faster than we would on our own. The dreaming is not pleasant, I get that, but probably your subconscious's way of processing more than you do when awake.

In my case I'd rather be having the dreams than still be a chronic green user who almost never dreamed.

You are right, @eth. Still feeling great about being green free here too.

@Faith-and-Hope It really is amazing what images one can find on the net isn't it. And cudos to you for being so tech savvy with manipulating them. I don't have those skills.

I don't know if it is of any value to you @Mazarita , but this is a solution I offered up to my kids in response to bad dreams, and I have used it myself also -

I simply revisit the general idea of the dream, fully awake, and rescript it. I over-write it with something much more pleasant, a bit like a daydream, then consider it edited. It worked with the kids. The bad dreams never seemed to return, and I found the same with myself. It's just another way of "turning lemons into lemonade".

I hope it is helpful to you. You might find a way to tweak it your own way with other things too - rescript ini them to sit more comfortably. You can probably rescript habits that way too as a way of changing them by degrees. Probably takes a bit of playing around with the concept.

I'm proud of you @Mazarita. How do you go when others do it around you? I found that very difficult for quite a long time but am ok with it now, feel no temptation at all.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope. I'll give that some thought.

Thanks @eth, that means a lot. I'm having no trouble when my close friend is smoking around me, though she's cut back in my presence anyway (I'm inadvertently being a good influence I think). Partner is along for the ride so there's none in the flat anymore. We agree that our lives just feel so much better without it.

That's great news @Mazarita.

I'm going to lie down and try to sleep some more now. Talk again soon. Nite nite to both of you 🙂

Nite nite, @eth. Sleep well sister. 🙂

For @Mazarita 😊
