So I took a really late nap yesterday so I wasn't able to get to sleep until around 2:30 even though I was completely exhausted. It was a night of tossing and turning and being generally unable to find a sweet spot on the bed that would allow me anything more than a few hours sleep. It was really pretty terrible and something of a huge waste of time for me. I did sleep in spurts but it was never quite fulfilling as far as sleep is supposed to go.
I found out there is an advantage to taking short naps throughout the night though. I dream really vivid dreams. There was unbelievable detail and conversations and all sorts of things that I have no clue where they came from. I fell through the ice where people were ice skating because I knew the ice was thin and had never fallen through ice before so I did it on purpose. I took random marks on the wall and made them into drawings by connecting the dots and drawing partial loops around what I felt should be corners. I had a conversation with someone in the shower. I watched someone in an airplane swimming underwater between the seats wearing a stewardess' uniform. I was terribly upset at someone because they were supposed to visit me but decided, without asking, that they were going to bring someone with them who would only get in the way and be a nuisance.
The last one really is happening with my brother and his girlfriend but that wasn't who it was in the dream. And the person in the dream was bringing someone in the military which was just random because I don't know anyone in the military. But I guess that was the point. The military guy was the one I had no interest in seeing.
It was just really vivid dream night but a not so fulfilling sleep night.
