Dear Lauri,
Last night I dreamed of driving around a neighborhood and there were several circular depressed areas in some of the front yards exposing concrete and I thought, “Oh my, SINK HOLES everywhere!”   - Patti 55, St. Pete, FL

Dear Lauri,
I was standing in our kitchen (I am in a wheelchair).  I heard a knock on the door.  I could see a man was standing there. There was something I did not like about him but for some reason I opened the door and he shot me in the chest. I was thrown across the room and I started disappearing.   I saw another figure in a cloak who had a gentle feel about him and had come to collect me. Then I woke up.   - Saxon 62, Devon, UK

Dear Lauri,
I dreamed that my oldest daughter and I were in my kitchen washing meat. After a few minutes she asked me what kind of meat we were washing and freezing. I said I didn't know, then reached over and picked up a "human shoulder!"   - Catherine 36, Saltillo, MS

Dear Lauri,

Almost every night I dream that friends, family and co-workers tell me I'm going to die. But then in my dream I wake up and everyone is disappointed and sometimes mad that I didn't die! What is going on?

If you're like many of us, you're probably afraid to even consider your downtime. Other chores, work, one last piece of organizing before "rest," seems like there's always something standing in the way of our relaxation...Ironically, it might be just the thing undermining your productivity but rest on this: relaxation and sleep might be the real secret to getting ahead.

How long?  How much?  How often?  Do you wonder and worry if you're not doing "it" long enough?   Sexual therapist Miriam Baker examines the common question and asks one right back at 'ya.
