Perchance to dream …

I’ve been having problems sleeping again. Part of it is my fault since I stayed up a bit too late for a few days and then got up early and if I don’t get enough sleep – it kind of builds up and I start having sleeping problems but part of it has also been the dreams. No, they are not nightmares – I never have nightmares 🙂 These are just dreams which leave me feeling so very tired the next morning – dreams which make me think that maybe I wasn’t dreaming at all but was living another life… Yes, I’m going into that crazy twilight zone again … let me come back :p The dreams are real enough – I just don’t remember enough of the dreams when I wake up though. Or like the other night where I was dreaming and thought, "Oh, this would make a plot for a wonderful story" and when I woke up, I remembered thinking that but I just can’t remember any details about the rest of the dream – and I *knew* in my dream that the plot made perfect sense. Ah well …

Then today, I got up in the wee hours – again something I’ve gone through before – and couldn’t go back to sleep. I finally did fall asleep but it was the kind of sleep where you are sure you are not sleeping – does that happen to you? I keep on dreaming and am aware of the dream and of the fact that I’m lying on the bed too – so I don’t really think it’s a dream so much as me thinking … or at least that’s what I think when I’m dreaming. So I wake up feeling as if I hadn’t slept at all and so very tired. I just hope that the waking in the middle of the night bit does not start all over again – I just hate that and it leaves me being so darn cranky :p

Heh..I’ve had dreams so real, taste, touch, smell, time..that I wake up and wonder.. “is this the dream? Or, was *that* the dream?.. where am I and what’s real anyway?”. Sometimes I think reality only distingishes itself by being.. err.. “heavier”. If that makes any sense.

Dreams and sleep… science can try to explain it, but I’ll never lose that strange otherworldy feeling whenever I wake up from a strange night’s experience. 🙂

Or, the short version of this to your post would be: “I can relate”. 😉
