Think of all the people whose lives are affected by you.
Can you think of one in particular who would be
pulling their hair out if they had a dream about you???
(I know. This is kind of a different topic! Intriguing, none-the-less!)

I can say a hearty YES!!! to this question. You might think I would say his nibs, since he has to put up with my nuttiness ALL the time. But no, it’s my sister. She is just the sweetest thing. So tender-hearted and helpful. BUT (and this is a big one) she thinks everyone should be and feel just like her about everything. Being the baby of the family, no one ever bothered to correct that myth when she was growing up. She simply cannot fathom not everyone sees things the way she does. For example, she’s blessed with the “crafting” gene. I am DEFINITELY not! Where she is very hands-on, I’m more cerebral. She’s constantly telling me I think too much!

Usually when your parents pass away, the oldest kid kind of steps into the role as “leader-of-the-tribe” by default. But in our family, I did not WANT that job. Nor did our brother who lives clear across country. So by default it fell to her. One of her biggest gripes is that she can’t get family together for BBQ’s, etc. She honestly thinks people should be able to change their schedule just to suit her plans. Needless to say, my brother, his snibs, and I are all kind of frustrated with her when she whines and complains and puts guilt trips on us about it. hopefully someday she’ll realize the world of people is much more diverse than she sees it and we all have our own lives and schedules. She needs to learn to see GRAY n a world that wants to cast everything in BLACK and WHITE.
No doubt I’ve caused that woman MANY nightmares!!!

I know someone like that, but the difference is that she changes her opinion all the time, and everyone is expected to follow her lead…

This is an interesting question. I would hope I would not incite nightmares in anyone, but if I had to identify one person, it would be a woman that used to be my friend. During the last election she trashed Hillary so much that I finally (and I tried to do it with loving kindness) called her out on this hate. She got really angry with me and won’t talk to me any more. I suspect if she dreamed of me it would be a nightmare.

Well, if there was actually fear behind the hate, which they’re usually is, she was probably scared to death of you. Fear is really the language of nightmares, in my opinion.

Love this, Cheryl we are very alike. You with your Sister then there is MINE, she screams about me I have no doubt because she can’t bully me anymore and I scream inside about her because she stole the money my Father had intended for me and, well you know the rest poppet.

Anna, I am surprised that screaming is all you do where your sister is concerned. She is such a piece of work! I think it’s only by gods grace that the two of you can live together in the same house.

It’s usually the younglins who see the world as black and white! Who in my life would see me in nightmares? I would have to say my youngest. Ours has not always been an easy relationship….

I think you’re right about the black and white thing. I think as we get older we get something like Glaucoma and suddenly we can see gray! And life is usually more gray than it is technicolor or black and white.
