Unfortunately, that works about as well as telling yourself NOT to think about an elephant. Or hippo. In other words, not very well.

Also, I have crazy dreams. Before, when I would go through fits of depression, they would often be extremely dark - morbid would probably be a more appropriate word. There were mornings when I'd wake up and be seriously concerned about my mental state, because I could actually smell the dead bodies rotting in my dreams. Thankfully I haven't had dreams nightmares like those in years. And *knock on wood* those days are over. But I still have dreams that are...strange and which I seem to be able to remember in more detail than most people remember their dreams. And I've been having lots of dreams every night, which leads me to think maybe I'm not sleeping so well, which may be why I'm so danged tired all the time and never want to get up in the mornings.

Maybe I will try a sleeping pill one of these nights. Or maybe some Nyquil.
