A Bad Dream

I guess when we refuse to acknowledge anxieties during our waking hours, they come out to haunt us when we're sleeping. Apparently I'm more worried about my oncologist visits this week than I thought because I had the worst, and most vivid, dream about dying of cancer last night and it all started with an elevated tumor marker test. I woke up convinced I needed to go buy myself something to wear to my funeral since I didn't want to be buried in anything I have hanging in my closet. Which is ridiculous, because I'm going to be cremated, so why waste a perfectly good outfit? Please say a little prayer that everything checks out ok and I'll let you know how everything goes after my appointment tomorrow.

I am so sorry you had this dream. I have a feeling cancer will try and haunt you for quite a while, but you won't let it. You are going to lead a long and vibrant life. I am certain that your tests will be great this week, but you are always in my prayers, so don't worry about that. I love you.

I recently read an article that said that dreams are more than just entertainment with your eyes close in that you work out anxieties/issues/concerns during your dreams. This can also cause concerns in that most of my dreams should not be discussed publicly. :) I will say an extra prayer.

Melissa, I am sorry that it must be hard to even enjoy sleeping for fear of these nightmares.
You are in my prayers daily and tonight I will pray for a peaceful night of sleep for you and a clean bill of health tomorrow. And for your spirit and your faith in "tomorrow" to grow.
Big hug to you, Suzan
