Great Regulars: When I did sleep I had violent dreams

about people I loved. I dreamt that a friend told me I was doing a bad job at work; furious, I tore out a clump of her long blonde hair. This friend had been nothing but kind to me. And in a different dream, I got angry with a friend who told me off over something I had forgotten to do. You have no idea what this is like. I wept in my dream. My mother died. My mother died. My mother died.

Throughout this time, I experienced an acute nostalgia, a longing for a lost time that was so intense I thought it might split me in two, like a tree hit by lightning.
