Not Exactly Nightmares

Yesterday morning, I dreamt that I was getting intimate with a woman that I once loved. My conscious awareness that we were not a couple anymore intruded upon my dream. I actually thought about going with it and returning to the dream, but I couldn't. So much for an adventure in lucid dreaming. Then this morning, I dreamt that I was selling a car to her husband. Again, at a point in my discomfort I realized that I was dreaming and slipped uneasily into the world of conscious thought.

My experience with a dream of an ex-girlfriend years ago was a little troubling (https://gregorymaness.wixsite.com/website/post/the-power-of-dreams). While I am inclined to see my dreams as just my subconscious mind at work, it is a little troubling to dream of this person on back-to-back nights. Hopefully, it isn't a recurring problem with this afternoon's nap or tomorrow's sleep session. While not exactly meeting the definition of a nightmare, these dreams made me a little uneasy. I don't need that kind of drama, particularly when I am trying to get my rest.
