I would not ignore any post or any advice in a thread that I started. I'm taking it all into consideration.

It is not an issue of time management - the problems lies solely in lack of sleep only because I've not been able to sleep. Like I said, the problem seems to be lessening.

I would really intend to turn these nightmares around. Unfortunately, the antagonist for me is something invisible, something I can't talk to or reason with easily unless I could possibly conjure a face to represent it.

I almost regret telling my family about my sleep problems because as you aptly pointed out, it only allows that evil to pervade the dream world even more. Even if it was true evil that was making my life difficult right now, I don't really know if that is scarier than having the issue just be my own mind. So I agree with you on the supernatural aspect of the discussion. Really, I agree with you on all points.
