I think. Not a mean ghost. But it is affecting my constitution. I don\u2019t want to sage my home, because what if it\u2019s my mom, just kind of making a little visit now and then?<\/p>\n<p>Then again&#8230; Probably not. My mom didn\u2019t like to \u201cvisit people\u201d when she was alive. Her very idea of hell would be having to do it even after death\u2019s {supposed} sweet release.<\/p>\n<p>This ghost has been giving me strange dreams; my sense of its presence always coincides with them. They are sometimes really good dreams, the kind that make you want to stay asleep forever. But the overwhelming feeling I have upon waking is&#8230; unsettled. Not scared exactly. It\u2019s murkier, more fluid, than fear.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t remember the details of the dreams, these are lost to the blue ether. But when I wake, I know something has been there. Dipping its white-tipped fingers into my sleep, messy and tangled.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like looking at a picture hanging on a wall, and you stare and stare, not because of the contents, but because something is off. It\u2019s not crooked, but it\u2019s not straight either.<\/p>\n<p>I was not opposed to this ghost. I\u2019ve never felt afraid or angry. But the ripples in my reality are increasing in frequency, duration and depth and so maybe I need to sage. Release and cleanse.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe at least I\u2019ll be able to fall asleep before 3am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a ghost. I think. Not a mean ghost.
