I might not think or believe the same as you which is a long way from thinking someone is nuts.

I thought maybe that was all the sleep I needed, but one night this week I slept through the entire night without waking at all and I couldn't believe how great I felt that day - it had been so long since I slept the whole night through.<br /><br />I could tell you what I think about those vivid dreams but you would think I was nuts. I have alot of dreams where I am on a ledge or on a mountain or even somehow outside of a hotel window ona windy ledge on the side of the building with no windows - it is always treacherous but I am never frightened, just thinking that no one knows I am there and I need to be somewhere else. The other night I had one of these dreams but instead of looking down from the ledge I looked up and thought- oh that's right, I forgot, I can fly - and I flew off. Then the next night I had a flying dream - so maybe my dreams are getting better, too - ha!<br /><br />I wish I could do the moderation with food thing (I used to) because I think it makes sense- I can't really understand why I can't anymore but it's really that I can't have any and stil feel well. The problem is not so much that I feel so great not eating sugar, wheats, corn, soy, etc - but that since I detoxed and stopped now when I do eat it I don't feel well at all, not even the smallest amount, although a small amt of dark chocolate doesn't bother me- thank God - so I'm kind of stuck in this limbo and I do like food! I have to find more things that I can eat. I think that if you have balanced your mental, emotional, spiritual space your physical is most apt to stay in balance, too - so your diet is probably appropriate for you.

I bought a half gallon of milk, some cream cheese, a dozen eggs, and the rest was spent in the produce department. <br /><br />Then I ran to the bagel store and bought some good NY bagels. <br /><br />Then I ran to Target and got junk! Frozen entrées for lunch. White flour crackers for snacks. Some Dove Dark chocolates. Oh, and some frozen salmon fillets because it is always good to have something good in the freezer.<br /><br />Sugar, salt, fat... the key is moderation (not saying I have found moderation) but recall I do believe in balance.<br /><br />KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839682837427981888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-43173932130700202222013-06-14T20:17:11.978-04:002013-06-14T20:17:11.978-04:00I fall asleep very easily.

Mostly I fall back asleep easily.<br /><br />I dream vividly! I mostly have really great dreams. I avoid certain television shows because they give me nightmares. I am blessed.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839682837427981888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-65817293132501656942013-06-13T16:47:32.562-04:002013-06-13T16:47:32.562-04:00That's good - yes, the water thing is importan...That's good - yes, the water thing is important- I will add - stay hydrated. I have been drinking water with lemon for the alkalinity and it stopped my late day headaches, maybe for the hydration reason - I drink more since it tastes better to me - I have been thinking about the lemon acid with my teeth lately though ...Catherine Ivinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-72121923022776435762013-06-13T16:23:57.572-04:002013-06-13T16:23:57.572-04:00I don't usually have any trouble falling aslee...I don't usually have any trouble falling asleep, which is nice... but I do need to work on eating better and getting more exercise.
