I got in a car accident once, this woman t-boned me, but by the grace of God she hit the passenger door and not mine. And by the grace of God, the two children in the car with me were sitting on the other side of the car and they didn't even see the accident happen. It would have scarred them. I definitely had nightmares for a while until I accepted that it was over and things were okay.Krista McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09230770035490273428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243519203990759199.post-15300088605976239192011-08-14T18:12:17.740-05:002011-08-14T18:12:17.740-05:00So glad you are alright, Danielle!

Interesting analysis of the dreams becoming nightmares. :-)Teresa Cypherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940430996766842518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243519203990759199.post-205494910551163462011-08-14T14:02:43.590-05:002011-08-14T14:02:43.590-05:00I think you hit the nail on the head!

I think anything detrimental or unsettling, whether it be fear, anger or what have you, must be dealt with otherwise it will haunt us forever. I'm very happy that you're okay. Your car is a mess :)T.
