last night

I saw her last night. She was in my dream - and she was furious.

We were sitting on a couch, and there were people all around - like a party. When, somebody, some IDIOT, comes up to us and says, “Oh, you must be Crazy - I read all about you.”

And at first she turns this sweet, sick smile at me, like she has no idea what he is talking about. But then she sees the scared in my eyes, and the switch flips. Right then, right there, she grabs me and beats the snot out of me. I am kicking back at her, but she so strong - like a too-tan super villain.

I wake up in the middle of the night, my heart pounding.

It is crazy. I am a grown up, sitting in my bed, in my own house, and for just a few minutes I really believe that she is coming to get me.

But who knows - if she knew what I wrote - maybe she would.

What an awful dream. What an evil, evil woman to have instilled such terror in a sweet, hurting child, that she still haunts your dreams today.
She no longer has power over you. She can no longer hurt your. I love the quote from Wizzard of Oz, "you have no power here, now go away before someone drops a house on you too."
You have built a safe, beautful world for yourself and your family. She has no power there. Believe that.

You've gotta work the Prince and your two dogs into the dream. The Prince is a bit intimidating physically and could probably whoop her good with one hand tied behind his back. No one would let her get to you.
