It’s been happening for a while now. I’ll be out cold and wake up and immediately think of the fact that my soul dog is old and she will be dead soon and it hits me like a freight train that I’ll have to live without her but I immediately fall back asleep. Or sometimes I’ll wake up to the thought that my kids are as old as they are and I feel like time is slipping away too quickly and I can’t slow it down and I feel like I’m missing everything because of how fast it’s going. I always get a deep, deep sense of dread with these wake ups but I’m not fully conscious because I immediately fall back to sleep. It’s so bizarre and nobody else I know has experienced this.
