Dance class went well today--and I'm still feeling the good effects of the class now. I was stuck in the front row--which meant I had to concentrate more so I could "lead" the dances when my back was to the class. I did alright--especially on dances I hardly knew!

I realized after I made yesterday's post that I did not record the dream I had on Sunday night. I was with HSP, the elderly person in whose house I once rented a room, and some others.  HSP was driving his car and I was in the passenger's seat. HSP is quite old--but he was still driving the last time I saw him. HSP was having some problems--he was spacing out as he drove. We nearly hit several other vehicles or pedestrians as he faded in and out of awareness.

I finally got him to pull to the curb and I got him out of the car. He started to walk away but collapsed and fell to the sidewalk. The other passengers had by now got out of the vehicle. They were helping me to support HSP who was still trying to walk. I kept talking to him--trying to get him to notice what he was doing and the problems he was experiencing. He continued to drift in and out of awareness. At times, he seemed to understand what I was saying to him--and then he would fade away and begin trying to move and walk.

It was clear that he was having some type of stroke or such. Some of us were trying to call 911 as we struggled to restrain HSP.

The dream was very real--I kept feeling a sense of profound dread and hopelessness regarding what was happening.

See my PCP in the morning--I have a lot on my plate that I need to talk over. Hopefully, there will be some lab results to discuss.
