FactorF, I'm really not too sure what that was.
It could have been a hallucination carried over between the "realms" of REM and awakeness. Then again, ya never know. If you still remember it, I may have been something more profound.

As an 8YO I decided it was the tooth fairy.
Eventually though, I found out that it couldn't be the tooth fairy. And that's when I started to wonder...

Hmmm, FactorF, that's a tough one....
Possibly a spirit of some kind, but maybe not a "good one." Most spirits wouldn't try or risk scaring you that way. Most spirits that would be visiting you would come into your dreams or make contact in a benign way to avoid scaring you. Especially to an 8 year old. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Hey Spitfire, here's a hypothetical question for you!
Suppose when you were around 8 years old or so, you woke up during the night and saw a pair of golden "eyes." Suppose they were not eyes in the sense of seeing an animals eyes in the dark but just golden light. Suppose you were scared so you called your mom and the two of you investigated but could not find anything that could be reflected in a mirror, lit up etc. What would you think that was? Hypothetically of course. Hope you see this

I would name Jesus. The little rascal changed my life for the worse when he told me drugs were bad for me.

Poor you, JJ.
Have you recovered? Wait, never mind. Don't answer that. Oh, btw, our secret is out. The jig is up in my Raps about the Haps blog. You knew it was all just a matter of time. You couldn't hide forever.

Well,
After I was born I was taken home from the hospital. I let them get away with that, and it was my first big mistake.

Taps, well, the good thing is you learned that about
yourself about men. Another thing, I believe that you weren't supposed to have that knowledge during the marriage. The marriage is what gave you that wisdom whether it would have lasted or not.

All right, Mark.
I'll be down in a while. Please don't forget to leave my name at the desk this time. Last time was quite a hassle but well worth it.

Spitfire - I think that I could have done a much better job of my marriage if I had understood more about men and more about myself. I was pretty naive and a rather self-centered young wife thinking mostly about what I wanted.

FactorF, stop in anytime!
I'm not sure what chord I struck with you, but I hope it wasn't a bad one!

Temple,
I've followed your journal blogs about all the crap that happened to you and I do agree; you do have lots of good stuff in your life now. (And people.) I think it takes certain things that happen to us to get us to the "place" we need to be. It's just that some of those things are harder than the others. We don't know why they are happening at the time, but usually (hopefully) later on down the line we can look back and realize what we actually gained from the trying times. You're getting back on your feet, Temple, and you're strong so I know you're gonna be alright. And an added bonus is that wonderful man of yours!!

It's so funny that you just posted this...
I was journaling about this last night. My first thought is always "moving to Denver," because that is where my car accident was that caused the brain injury and the PTSD. As a result of that, I've lived the most difficult and lonely five years of my life, lost the ability to practice law, become estranged from my family. Many things. But, I've become a more empathetic and compassionate person, more balanced, more spiritual, kinder, more the person I feel I was meant to be. I resolved issues with my biological father in my head and heart that I think I needed to move on with my life, and found the path (am still sorting it out a bit) in life I believe I was destined for. I found probably the best kitty in the world who saved me when my kitty, Mittens, who I had since I was 16 died, and gives me so much love. He saved Scrapper, too, although she's too stubborn to admit it. He's an ambassador for Feline Kind (Petie). I met Temple. It is my biggest regret...yet my destiny. I wonder if it always works like that?
