My dreams recently have involved incidents related to my family. Safe to say, my mom’s recent hospitalization has affected me in more ways than just being worried about her health.

The first dream involved my oldest sister going missing.

Last night, I had a dream my mother was in danger. Kidnapped, I think.

Additionally, yesterday, I realized I do have some residual, slight PTSD from the happenings because I panicked when I saw an unknown number calling me. I quickly answered the phone, only to find that it was just a receptionist confirming my massage appointment. I felt real fear and panic because I was afraid that the unknown number was a call telling me my mother was experiencing an emergency. Just like Monday.

Since Monday, I’ve also stopped putting my phone on Do Not Disturb, especially at night, because I’m scared I’ll miss a call regarding my mom.

No wonder I haven’t been sleeping well all week.
