Sleep Program Main PageIn the middle of the night, when the world gets as still as it ever does, sometimes a visitor will come. You'll wake, maybe from a dream or even a nightmare, and slowly you'll realize going back to sleep will be delayed by the visitor. You can get angry at the visitor and demand that it leave, but it is often unresponsive to that request. But, perhaps, it is this visitor who is bringing you some help or news that you need and you ignore it to your own discomfort.
Often the visitor seems to be just a lot of thoughts that are jumbling around. The more you ignore it, the more it gets more and more agitated. Your frustration level increases because it seems this visitor will never leave. You spend your days in dread of these nighttime visits.
Another option is to invite the visitor in. Bring it a cup of tea and maybe a cookie if it wants. Then sit down and find out what it wants to tell you. In order to do this you'll have to be creative and willing to do all the writing. This visitor doesn't hold a pen or read a book, but is usually happy to have you do so.
The visitor often asks you to read or think about things that you are not paying attention to during the day. Maybe you're needing to write in your journal and sort out an emotional situation, maybe you've been putting off reading a book that you keep thinking about. The way you know you're getting close to what the visitor is asking is by noticing your own avoidance level.
