Everybody's Fine

It's 4:30 in the morning and I can't sleep. I woke up at 2:00 for some reason and the hubby was still working on his ingrown toe nail and surfing the web. Last night was one of the first nights I didn't wait up for him. It was probably a good thing to do because I don't think I would have lasted until 2 AM.
I've been having some pretty vivid and wild dreams lately. Last week, the dreams were really quite horrifying. Luckily, this week they are quite pleasant or just plain bazaar. Last night, I dreamed I was a cross country trainer and I dreamed about all the different exercises involved with each of the major muscle groups and I was circuit running and doing all these exercises in between. It was really refreshing to be running around and being super in tune with my body and I had no pain ever, exhilarating at first. I remember my assistant telling me that half the group was leaving, one by one, because the workout was either too challenging or too dull. I remember being lost and confused and worried that all the rest of my team was going to leave.
I think this dream could definitely mirror my life. I'm worried about someone that I love very much, actually that I love the most of all people on Earth, worried about them not being honest with me for so long that they just give up or leave and I am completely in the dark. I don't have a clue how to help them. Perhaps my suspicions are unfounded. It sort of reminds me of the movie "Everybody's Fine" that we saw recently where a father goes to see his adult kids as a surprise and finds out they've been lying to him about how they've been doing just to make him happy and proud.
I feel incredibly sad and deceived just like the father in that movie, but I hope that the ending is just as good or better where he accepts his kids how they are and decides that everybody really is fine because they finally get together around the dinner table at Christmas.
