My darling girlfriend had a nightmare the other day which unsettled her. I know the feeling. Some dreams can be uplifting and soothing while others can be really unnerving. I used to dream a lot about my brother. He would invariably be put in harm's way with me paralysed and unable to help him. It was a terrible feeling and one that always left me feeling raw and sore mentally and emotionally. I hated it. A female horse after sundown: nightmare.
