I’m going to continue with the theme I brought up yesterday and keep the discussion focused on dinks. On the television show “House” this week the term “Reactionary Erection” was being thrown about in attempts to diagnose a patient. I found it quite interesting simply because I’d have thought the phrase would have meant something other than what they were discussing it was.
I’d assume it was a “reaction” to touch. And while it is still a reaction, it seemed to me to be more of a mental manifestation than physical one, while you slept. So I guess that is the clinical expression for morning boner? I still prefer the latter…

And it wasn’t until a few years ago when Kreg told me when he stopped smoking and drinking he started to dream again. Since he told me that I’ve thought about my sleeping habits and started to appreciate what was happening while I slept. I, too hadn’t dreamt, or I failed to remember dreaming for years. And it wasn’t until I started to get healthier did that function return. And with the return of the nightly activity my sleep vastly improved, too. I no longer did I feel tired upon waking up and waking up actually took some time to accomplish.
It’s been a few years since I’d started dreaming again and, in turn, sleeping better and I still think nothing beats a good nights sleep. Nothing…
