What do you do when you have bad dreams? Is there anything that helps you not have them or to get them out of your head when you do?

Not personally. Just in passing through work. I'm a lawyer.

[pureed]

You must be real smart, then.

[fightlikehell]

I know a thing or two.

[pureed]

And you are modest too.

[fightlikehell]

Just... trying to be realistic.

I'm Matt more than anything.

[pureed]

What does being Matt mean to you?

[fightlikehell]

[That's not supposed to be a loaded question. It feels like that.]

Doing the right thing for the right people no matter the cost. Trying and not giving up.

It's also part of my given name.

[pureed]

I like that.

[fightlikehell]

Thanks. It's sort of hard to live up to now and again. But I'd rather keep on trying.

I digress.

...so about these dreams, have you thought about maybe talking to a specialist? This has had a deep impact on you to say the least.

[pureed]

Oh... I don't know about that. I used to talk to my preacher.

[ Before said preacher accidentally sent him to hell. ]

[fightlikehell]

I meant like a psychologist. Maybe, eventually, you can find your way back to religion. I can understand why that wouldn't be your first choice.

[pureed]

I just don't know any preachers...I never thought of a psychologist. My dad probably wouldn't like that much.
I don't know if he always liked me talking to the preacher either.

[fightlikehell]

I'm sure there would be one if you looked or asked. It's important for you to take care of yourself, sometimes we have to do things we don't like for a better purpose. Self enrichment is a good reason.

[pureed]

Maybe...I'll have to pray about it.

[fightlikehell]

I'd be happy to pray for you.

[pureed]

Thank you.

[fightlikehell]

I'm still shopping around for a church.

...what denomination are you?

[pureed]

Christian.

[ He really didn't think of it much more beyond that, his preacher didn't seem to either. Maybe that was probably the problem (no, it really isn't). ]

[fightlikehell]

Any chance you might like to check places out with me?

[pureed]

I would like that.

[fightlikehell]

Wonderful! I'll hit you up sometime soon.

[pureed]

I look forward to it!
