When I had my traumatic event, I remember having the dead guy's face swim up in front of me over and over while sleeping.


All the same mental issue, it's interesting that just now someone realized that the brain REALLY likes repetition and that maybe finding a way to replace a bad mental repetition with a better one would work.

I almost never remember my dreams. I don't remember having a "bad" dream about any job that I've ever had except once. 25-30 years ago, I worked at a retail parts place. In one dream, I remember thinking that I woke up in my room, and when I woke up, one of the dirty parts counters from work wash shoved up against the side of my bed, and there was a line of nasty, greasy, smelly folks lined up at the counter, going down the hall and down the stairs from my room. I think the dream pretty much ended there because my alarm went off to wake me up to go to work (which is probably the only reason that I remembered the dream).
