Thank you all for your insights and supports. I agree with the interpretations - I'll have to think more about the knife as sexual but it isn't so far off, given I thought it was my dad and revenge fantasies float in from time to time. The anxiety of it all is so huge.
But...
The feeling is a cold, sick feeling that I get before a flashback or new memory. It is like my body knows before my mind does. I don't want it so I'm resisting leaving any space for it to come up, knowing full well it would be better to do it early in the week than later. Still - I resist. The one concession I'm making is that I'm not medicating everything away. So, of course, I didn't sleep.
I don't want to guess at what the dreams woke up. I think I'll take Falls' suggestion and go have some COW. I wish I could just stay in bed today - go to my session in my pjs-and then go back to bed. *sigh* Instead I have grown up meetings all afternoon. Perhaps that will help drive out whatever this is.
