I had really really bad nightmares last night. I think I jinxed myself because I was feeling very unstable all afternoon yesterday - just almost anything would trigger a memory and I would get really shaken, but I remember thinking that at least I wouldn't have dreams with that stuff in them because I've only had those kind of dreams twice. Well, I think I jinxed myself, because make last night number three.
I just had all these nightmares about my brother raping me (which isn't what happened with him, but it easily could have in the situation I was in) and it was really disturbing. And the worst part was, and I don't think I'll be able to tell my therapist this, was that it was really arousing dream. It just has me pretty shaken today and I don't know what to make of it or what to do about it. How do you prevent a nightmare? Could it be because this is the anniversary weekend of everything happening to me that this is coming up? I mean, it came up a little last week in therapy too, but no specifics, and I was fine for a full two days after the therapy session, so I don't think that was it.
Anyway, ideas, thoughts, whatever would be helpful. I'm kind of shaken.
