2015 has begun and before I could even think of making new year resolutions this happened to me. Hopefully if you are experiencing the same thing you may find this post helpful.
Barely a few hours into morning and barely a couple of days or so into the dawn of 2015 and I re-experienced something, I’d barely begun to forget about. It had been practically years even since I’d even been touched by it and since I felt that pressing dread and thick heaviness on my being. 2015 and I thought I’d well and fully conquered it.

(I am literally looking for his quote as I’m sifting through a book called: “The Dream Dictionary from A to Z by Theresa Cheung”).

(Cannot find the original quote). I will have to look for it another time as postponing this post just for a quote really isn’t necessary is it? I’m sure you will get the rough idea. I highly recommend you look into dream psychology under Carl Jung quotes,(maybe throw in a couple of books)and you may just find a stepping stone towards a better understanding of this hypnopompic state.
