Dreams.. sometimes very welcoming depending on the content of such dream, of course if you wake up sweating, shaking and breathing hard (adreniline pumping) that's not so much a dream as it is a nightmare unless of course you consider the content.. why are you sweating, shaking and breathing hard.. haha.. yes there are other activities that can make you respond that way. My mind seems to be more active while I sleep, I am sure that's not true but it sure feels like it when you wake up and feel very exhausted. Waking up numerous times in the night does not help my disposition either. Yes I can be cranky.. I can also be very quiet which can be construed as "in a bad mood"... funny how that works. I had one of those restless nights again.. and my brain actually hurts right now. I think its from the lack of rest..or maybe the one too many coffees to jump start it.. ha.. yes we do that to don't we. Because we all know how good caffeine is for the body.. Sadly my mind wants to turn off.. it wants to sleep..my eyes are even heavy.. unfortunately the job doesn't allow me to sack out on the cot..or even to place my head on the desk and catch a few winks!
I often wonder how many days I can go without a good night's sleep.. before I lose complete thought process... I have come close.. 3 days.. but then I became an emotional basket case.. oh such a pretty sight!
so on to another "awake dream" aka day dreams... yes.. I do that alot when I have had restless nights.. maybe that's my survivor mode kicking in. Lotto tixs in my pocket.. picturing beautiful beaches with white sand.. warm sun shining down on you.. not a worry or care in the world.. oh yes.. and the hammock that sways .. calling to me.. the breeze from the ocean, the taste of the salt on the lips.. closing eyes again.. I can hear the lapping of the waves on the shore.. oh so sweet..
