Erin woke up Wednesday morning feeling more refreshed than usual. For the first time in a week, she realized, she hadn’t been awakened by one of her nightmares. Perhaps her bad dreams would subside for good soon?
She wasn’t so naive that she believed it, though. Nightmares like she was having didn’t suddenly stop happening. So the best she could do was be glad for nights like this past one where her dreams gave her a reprieve.
Her heart sunk, though, when she recognized she was cold and wet. So she hadn’t had to deal with a dream, but her bladder had defied her again. She supposed it wasn’t unexpected; she had, after all, been wetting the bed even before the dreams had become so bad.
