Do you guys wake up 10,000 times as well? Boy, I sure do!
Oh wow, that was weird too. The thread flipped the page. "We now interrupt your regularly scheduled program to add chat, banter, brandy, cookies, CIA agent, and dyslexic phone owner, to flip the page to 61. If this was an emergency, you would have seen Christine pull out her binoculars for surveillance, Janet dial 911 very slow, Kelly light her bic lighter as if at a concert, and Sharon kissing the cookie monster"

Janet wrote: "Lol!! Oye! What do you mean slow??!! I ain't decrepit.... yet anyway!! :-D"Janer, if you are decrepit, what is she going to call me? I got my eye on you, Freda!
Christine wrote: "Do you guys wake up 10,000 times as well? Boy, I sure do!"Yes, check out message 26. I got bored.

I can't sleep for more than 4/5 hours at a time without looking at the dang clock and thinking "I'm late for something, I'm late for something!!!!". :D
Christine wrote: "Freda, dear, what are you having for breakfast this morning?"Bagels and cream cheese, banana, and coffee, why?

Freda, wow, that's a fascinating commentary. Thanks for sharing that.
Plus, it is on a cool thread that I didn't know existed!

Freda it was about 10am here when I posted that
no I generally sleep through unless it is particularly unsettling then I force myself to wake up and ive seen me having to put a movie on to shake the previous dream out the system before I can go back to sleep. the thing that usually wakes me up is the blasted cat when she nicks the covers or decides she is banging on the window to get her brekkie grrrr
No dyslexia, just tech challenged!!! I don't know if I dream in color. Sometimes I think I dream in "radio" - LOL - no images at all, just thoughts, so I guess that's not even radio, is it? My iPad was very low on battery juice last night or else I would have followed this thread more closely. I would probably have dreamt of cookies - and maybe wine.

My iPa..."If you're dreaming thoughts, perhaps it's the aliens trying to confuse you. :D If you hear voices, that is really bad Jean, go get checked. LOL
its not the voices in my head that are the problem most of the time - its the ones in the same house that annoy me
ahhhhhhhhhh sunday night and I don't have to prepare for work tomorrow woohooooo
Sharon wrote: "no I generally sleep through unless it is particularly unsettling then I force myself to wake up and ive seen me having to put a movie on to shake the previous dream out the system before I can go ..."Sharon, do the dreams date from your service days or did you have them even before that?
I think I have always had them - as I have gotten older they have gotten weirder but that's probably cos I have so much more rubbish in my head now than I did when I was a kid
Sharon wrote: "I think I have always had them - as I have gotten older they have gotten weirder but that's probably cos I have so much more rubbish in my head now than I did when I was a kid"Yeah, me too.
I actually started writing about mine lol they were so weird. if I remember them in detail I put them down on paper
Sharon wrote: "I actually started writing about mine lol they were so weird. if I remember them in detail I put them down on paper"Do you, Sharon? I did that for a time when I was a kid, but am much too lazy to do that now. I am incredibly interested in how dreams come about. I would love to come back in 100 years to see how it all worked out.
yeah some of mine are so obscure that I have to write them down. I try to see if there is anything recurring but to be honest every one is different lol
Sharon wrote: "yeah some of mine are so obscure that I have to write them down. I try to see if there is anything recurring but to be honest every one is different lol"Don't you just amaze yourself with the stuff your brain comes up with?? It can be so creative without any effort on your part!
yeah for sure its the one with the dragons that worried me! seemed to think I could keep it as a pet and take it for walkies
I think the brain is sorting thru all the millions of thoughts and images it receives over time and some of this shuffling somehow makes it into consciousness or subconsciosness and that manifests as a dream. I can have people I know in my dreams, but they are never who they really are in appearance or most actions/behaviors. And locations, like my clinic at work was never anything like the real life clinic. Are yours like that? As I say, I usually can't wait to see what's showing each night.
Sharon wrote: "yeah for sure its the one with the dragons that worried me! seemed to think I could keep it as a pet and take it for walkies"
Never had a dragon dream, lol. Usually cats.
sometimes I have people I know in them a lot of the time they are totally random but they can also be a product of what I have been watching on tv / film lol I remember one I had in which there was a tsunami in Portsmouth near where I had parked my car and I knew it was mine by the reg plate (I never knew my plate before that dream lol) and I was trying to save people but get to the car - all because I had watched a tv programme where they tried to flood the thames!
I have a thing for mythology - have a few dragon statues - but all sorts of mythology - greek, roman, American native indian - anything and all my tattooes are based in mythology. so dragon dreams are not unexpected lol
Sharon wrote: "I have a thing for mythology - have a few dragon statues - but all sorts of mythology - greek, roman, American native indian - anything and all my tattooes are based in mythology. so dragon dreams ..."I often dream of things that I am trying not to think about, rather than those things that mean a lot to me. It's like the brain is trying to deal with that stuff while I have no control. Then of course the recurrent dreams like teeth all falling out or not having studied for the dreaded history test or getting slammed on call during Neurology rotation. Oh and the famous "I have to go back to graduate school even though I am 25 years into my career" dream. Geez, I am sick of that one. Sometimes it's such a joy to wake up, even if it's a Monday!!
lol yeah have had those types of dreams too. once I couldn't work out the formula in a spreadsheet and dreamt the solution LOL amazing how the mind works sometimes
Sharon wrote: "lol yeah have had those types of dreams too. once I couldn't work out the formula in a spreadsheet and dreamt the solution LOL amazing how the mind works sometimes"Yes, isn't that just miraculous, Sharon? The brain is such an amazing organ!!!
totally. I am astounded however at how much rubbish my brain holds. if there are crazy facts to be known my brain retains them
Sounds like you would be a terrific Trivial Pursuit or Jeopardy player, Sharon! Hey, you will miss all that rubbish when you turn 85, lol...
Lol I won't remember it to miss it lol
Sharon wrote: "Lol I won't remember it to miss it lol"HAHAHA, Sharon. Good point!

Wow... Glad to hear your home. Get well quickly.
Christine wrote: "Do you guys wake up 10,000 times as well? Boy, I sure do!"I wake up needing to change position all night long, so it is the rare night that I actually sleep well. I would kill (just kidding) for a solid nights sleep. This makes me nap during the day and at night if I can't get back to sleep I end up reading.
I do, and the worse thing is that I cant seem to tell the time when I wake up in the night. I look at the alarm and it says something like 6 am so I get up, make a cup of tea and then realise its only 1.30 am or something. It gets me every time, you would think by now that I am so used to the clock telling lies to me, that I would triple check before I get out of bed, but NO!
Well it is 2:45A.M. and I had to get up to use the washroom. Couldn't get comfortable in bed as I have constant pain from herniated discs in the low back. I also suffer from sleep apnea, so I use the machine. I only sleep for 2-3 hrs at a time. But I can have a cup of coffee and go right back to sleep. Will be up for half and hour and then off to bed. Have to get up with the dogs by 7:00A.M.
aw sue hope you managed to get back to sleep ok. sounds like you have a hard night of it every night :(I woke up after having yet more crazy dreams and fell back asleep after 5 or 10 mins so that wasn't too bad
got up at normal time this morning and went to the gym :) now having a lazy day
Mod
I dream a lot but often I'm only aware that I have been dreaming, not of the details. When I can remember, it's usually about railways and/or fruit and vegetables! Oh, and buying a house which has massive secret rooms - which wouldn't fit in in real life.
I used to suffer terribly from sleep paralysis but it tends to happen when I sleep in the day/evening rather than at night. The worst time was when I fell asleep in front of the TV one evening and it seemed to go on for ages. It's a horrible feeling when you are willing your body to move but you can't do anything yet you can hear everything that is going on around you. When I eventually woke up I told my hubby about it. I knew everything that had happened in the film he had been watching and we worked out that I had been in that state for about one and a half hours. It was such a dreadful feeling that I now go to bed as soon as I am feeling tired. :)

Chris in physician mode.

It's worse than sleep walking and night terrors, Heather. I second Christine's advise! They'll do all kinds of neat tests on ya. Good morning girls. :) *waiting on coffee to finish percolating*
Great, I show up and everybody scatters. :D I can feel the love!! LOL
