Have you ever woken up early because of bad dreams?

I just did. 4:52 a.m., neck and shoulder aching from too much computer time yesterday, and having a weird nightmare about the ex. My mind was making awful things up that never happened. I dreamed that I was living in the house we used to own together, and someone had drilled through the screws holding the back door to the door frame. I showed the ex, in the dream, and suddenly he was here, online, writing about how funny my fear had been to him, telling people, "You should have seen her face!"

You let him in and he left you vulnerable

@SW-User Not quite sure I understood "you let him in". But yes, he definitely left me vulnerable.

@4meAndyou you gotta go back to that house and... lite that sucker up... burn it down!
I'm jus say'n

@MyPokerFace Naw. I would certainly fantasize about it, but fantasy is as far as I would ever go. And my fantasies are more about...hmm...putting lots of garter snakes in the garage. He has a panic phobia about snakes. OR putting fake bird poop all over the deck he painted. He screamed at me about that deck. OR...hiring someone to make it seem like the house was haunted, because he used to pretend the doors and drawers were opening and closing all by themselves in the bedroom. Even in fantasy, I am more about giving him a dose of his own medicine, and less about defcon 1.

@SW-User Yes...that pesky heart.
