Nightmapping lightning in my mind

I just saw something in the dark

It’s 1:10am and another flash just came and went. Woke me up this time.

There’s a good chance I’m still in REM as I type this. This is wild.

It’s ephemeral. I see flashes across the back of my eyelids one blip at a time.

Blink. There it is again.

Panicking...

The more I type the further I get from reason I woke up, ie what I saw.

It’s like tracing a constellation of memories across my mind’s night sky.

Each idea or subject is a star with its own brilliance, depth, and focus. If I can plot enough of these something brilliant will crystallize.

I close my eyes and I see the bolt flash. I open them and it fades away, and I see the cursor screaming at me to keep typing before its's gone for good.

Bookmark: yesterday was a microcosm of the last 25 years of my life.

I just started EMDR therapy again. I must be Reprocessing.

Back to bed. I can tell there’s more coming.
