Instead of Tia Maria, I just called the person concerned by my nightmare, I know now for sure everything's ok, so I can presently enjoy the morning!
I dreamed that my best friend's one year old had a growth sickness of some sort and died at eight years old after years of suffering and vain hope... I can still see the kids eyes... :shiver: I feel like running to them to hold them close, but they're a thousand km away...
But it's a beautiful day today!

call your friend sweetie and share your concerns. it certainly cannot hurt. when my sister's family was stationed in Japan I started having nightmares that my oldest niece was choking. I finally called her about it. the very next night they woke up with the girl gasping for breath in an asthmatic wheeze. after a trip to the ER it turned out that she was allergic to the paper on the walls. it put them at the top of the list for government housing and they moved out of their quarters that day. my sister and I have never been particularly close so it's not even an issue of me having picked up casual indicators in conversation

a WalMart employee was killed in a stampede of incoming customers last year. I don't understand why everyone isn't sickened at this display of rampant consumerism. if it were up to me, everything but basic services and perhaps entertainment would be closed this weekend so that people would turn off and completely engage in activities of thanks, and enjoyment of the season and their families
