To dream or not to dream...

Do you ever go through those phases where you have a span of something like 3 months worth of 'no dreaming' and then several nights where you are bombarded with them? I've been in the bombarded phase lately. Dreams are bizarre. Experts tell us that we dream every night even when we don't remember them. I know people who have super-human powers in their dreams, leap from tall buildings, get in fights, save people in distress. Overactive imaginations? I am not one of these people... I like to think I reserve my imagination for my waking hours... yeah, I'm going with that explanation. You could file me under the Nonsense Dreamer category... mine don't make much sense and are generally some crazy combination of conversations I had that day, things I thought about, or being incredibly thirsty.

I recently had a dream in which I was begging my dad for a drink of his water. He was talking with someone when I interrupted by stealing the bottle out of his hands and just chugging it. I was actually embarrassed in my dream when I finished it without taking a breath, wasn't at all satisfied, and then looked for more. I ended up waking shortly after that completely parched. Makes sense I guess.

I am thankful that I've never really struggled with insomnia. I have a great friend who rarely gets a full night's sleep and I can tell that it's very frustrating.

All of this thinking about sleep is tiring me out. I'd take a nap right now if I could. I guess I'll just have to settle for attempting to go to sleep by nine, and actually turning my light out around 12:30 like I usually do.

Going to sleep any earlier would be a dream come true.
