An excerpt from my journal. 4-7-19 Crying in my sleep. It's weird. I wake up and I seem to be sobbing really hard. I'm not sure what's going on. There are no tears or anything. Its been happening more frequently. Last night, I was dreaming of escaping somewhere. Here I was, crawling through what appeared to be a very thick mangrove. I had a couple of dogs with me. At one point, the shit we were crawling through got way too thick and it was getting dark. I think I gave up. Thats when I started sobbing. Then I remember a guard or maybe it was a cop dragging me back to wherever I had come from. Its weird that these types of dreams keep happening. Not the dreams I mean, but the fact that I keep waking up because I'm crying in my sleep. And I'm not just dreaming of crying. I truly think I'm actually crying. Its unusual and I'm left with a case of anxiety that only occurs after certain situations. Afterwards I just lay quietly in the dark and wonder "What the hell"?
