Restless Sleep
Last night I woke up at around 3 in the morning and couldn't get back to sleep. Finally around 4:30 or so I did fall asleep, only to wake up again about a half hour later from a dream. It was one of those super-realistic dreams -- in it I heard someone outside the window of this little basement room where I've been sleeping for the last three months, and then simultaneously I felt a rat run across my pillow and head. I woke up terrified, and ended up going upstairs and sleeping on the couch for the rest of the night.
Today I searched the room for any evidence that the rat part might have been real, and could find nothing, and so I'm nearly (but unfortunately not totally) positive that it was just one of those dreams where physical sensations are so incredibly vivid.
As much as I love this little room, and feel like I can finally BREATHE when I come down here each night, I miss my bed, my real bed in my bedroom. I hate being separated from my kids by two locked doors, since the only access to this room is from outside, and I hate my 6am trip back up to the rest of the house. BUT I don't want to go back and sleep with my husband, and for whatever reason can not yet leave. Something, however, is going to need to change soon.
Tonight, I'm hoping for another vivid sensation dream, but this time, please, let it be sexual! Good, strong, orgasm dreams are high on my list of lovely ways to wake up in the middle of the night, and I could use that right now.
