oh, yes. and more thoughts….
and more and more and more….relentless
And wild dreams, almost every night! Weird….
Laughing…wild is better than horror.

Agreed. Although last night I barely escaped a hotel that was surrounded by insurgents. Where THAT came from I have no clue….
Don’t forget song snippets, in a loop with the thoughts and thoughts and thoughts…qp
Funny. And more loops and more loops
Indeedy! We are experts!
I’m with you David. I wake up at 2 and usually don’t get back to sleep for an hour or more. It’s only when I do some breathing meditations that I can drift off again. I’m also with Lori with weird dreams. I think it’s the subconscious trying to make sense of the madness and insecurity. There’s a recurring one where I am a friend and advisor of DJT. Ever hopeful he will take my advice!
Smiling. Strange creatures we are… 🙂
Thoughts –for me, tend to be in wordscapes, wordshapes, even sentences….analytics. Images — pierces the screen rice paper mind, can ….if I give them permission, dominate language and logic….if this gate is left open….I might fall more easily into sleep. As for the THOUGHTS…. “pound pound pound” I feel the ball pen peen hammer, I do.
“Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, ‘Where have I gone wrong?’ Then a voice says to me, ‘This is going to take more than one night.’ ” ~ Charles M. Schulz
… and sometimes I wish there was an on/off switch for my brain!
Laughing. It sure has taken more than 1 night

Gosh, tell me about it!! … “Hartley Lin (formerly known by the pseudonym Ethan Rilly) is a cartoonist based in Montreal, Canada.”
Sounds like how you spend your nights!
100% correct!
sadly!
OMG! That’s me every damn night.
laughing! so me too…
How I can rely to that…. – although WHEN I sleep, I sleep much better now than in France. It’s so very peaceful and I thought it was quiet there, it’s so much more quiet here, all we hear are birds going to bed and the rain gurgling down the pipe outside our bedroom (well chosen by us, wasn’t it?!)
Wow. You live on Fantasy Island!
A mind clouded with too many thoughts makes for sleepless nights. Let go and let God handle them. He’s up all the time anyway.
