Well, I won't be sleeping tonight..

Oh dear MissA.You had your surreal experience earlier, or in the wee small hours? Surreal happenings are always a jolt. I have had a few but night time is a difficult time to process them. I hope you are able to get some time to relax and sleep tomorrow ( or rather today, when dawn breaks.)

Sorry I can't be of much help but I do hope you have someone to talk with about what happened soon, if you are able to confide that is.

My surreal experiences shook me and mystified me initially. Later I found lots of comfort in them. I hope that happens to you too.

I've only just had it..
Thank you for responding.

You should be in bed, asleep!

I'm sorry MissA - it seems as if you've had a sad and discomfiting experience. Sending you warm thoughts - and I did just say a sneaky little prayer for you too, can't do any harm eh? The wee sma' hours can pass very slowly sometimes.

Ah, thank you.
I have had a frightening, emotional, physically difficult and very, very sad experience.
It will stay with me forever, I think.

It takes time to process events outside our norm, especially those that involve the emotions and generate strong feelings. My advice would be not to shy away from the experience, but to give yourself opportunities to think about what's happened and make what sense of it you can. Hope you're able to find peace enough to get a few hours sleep - and have a lie in tomorrow.

Thank you, again.
My grandson isn't well, so no chance of a lie in.
He's been being sick every hour or so all through the night: all over the floor, the bed and himself the first few times!
Then, just when I thought things were calming down 'the other thing' happened.

Oh dear - it never rains, but it pours. Hopefully your grandson will need a bit of a sleep-in after his disturbed night and you might catch an extra few minutes yourself.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandson and your surreal experience MissAdventure.

His sickness will pass but you'll have to manage the other thing very differently.
If by any chance you'd like to PM me, I'll do what I can to help as I've had similar experiences myself - and of course it will be totally confidential.
With all kindest regards

The early hours are the worst time for dealing with strong emotions. I've decided to get up and deal with mine as lying in the dark thinking is not productive for me. So I got up and made a cup of tea and am now reading some GN posts and feeling calmer. I'll PM the name of a herbal cure for panicky feelings which always calms me down.

Hope your grandson feels a lot better in the morning. What a nasty bug he seems to have poor boy. Sounds like you both need some tlc.

MissA I hope you are ok things always seem so much more difficult in the night and it sounds as if you ve had quite a fright
I hope your grandson improves and you can get some peace
A big hug

missa, I hope you are feeling better this morning and that your grandson is better.

MissA

I’ve also had a disturbing night maybe it was something in the air.

MissA I hope you are feeling better now. Experiences like this in the middle of the night are extremely upsetting.
I hope your DGS is also better.

MissA sincerely hope you are feeling calmer this morning

Also,hope your DGS is feeling OK now.

I hope you and your grandson are feeling better this morning MissA. Sounds like you have had a nasty experience, things always seem worse in the early hours don't they.
Try and get some rest today, take care of yourself and your boy.

Miss A I hope you and dgs are feeling better now the sun is out

MissAdventure. X

Miss A hopefully you are feeling calmer and more settled this morning.

Hoping your GSs bug has passed, there is a lot of it going round this side of the bridge also!!

MissA...I would guess that you have had some sort of a vision, seeing something which was happening elsewhere? Not uncommon but rather startling if you're not used to it. I do hope your poor grandson is feeling better this morning. What a dreadful night for you both.

Miss A - I hope the morning has brought you some peace and your grandson is feeling better too

Ginny42 - can you let me know the herbal remedy that you mentioned too? Thank you

Sorry to hear about your " episode " MissA. The mind can be powerful at times and take over your whole body and well-being, usually if it's troubled in some way.

I don't know much about these " happenings " except that they're sometimes known to affect the short-term memory maybe as a safety-valve to shut something out ? I don't know but it must make you feeling drained.

I hope the youngster feels better today and that both of you are able to take things easy today. x

What a horrible time you've had MissA. I hope you will be able to rationalise what happened so that it doesn't continue to distress and haunt you. And your poor grandson, he must have been feeling so miserable, poor boy - do hope he's getting over his bug now.
