Weird Dreamy Feelings
The last couple of days have been long and tiring work days. Since I'm mostly retired, that's odd enough for me. We spent Monday volunteering at the Dam Short Film Festival office labeling and sorting the films in preparation for the film festival in Feb. Our film will be shown on Feb 9th at noon - the first block of the fest. - Weird thing that happened: I reached into a box of films and pulled out one (unlabeled) opened it and it was ours. Anyway we were quite tired after eight straight hours of sitting on folding chairs and doing the labeling and sorting. Glad to have helped out though.
Tuesday was my long writer group day. A good day all in all we had some good discussion at the afternoon meeting and I got some feedback on the novel WIP in the morning session. But it was another early day and a day of sitting.
I tell you all that to get to this weird story. I was very tired, but held out by not taking a nap, hoping it would mean I'd have a good solid rest last night. Unfortunately that wasn't to be the case. We stayed up until about midnight or a little after watching some of our television shows. We don't have TV but watch Netflix. We never watched X-files while it was on the air and have just started making our way through season one. We also watch Monk (most we've seen but they're fun to watch) and Murder, She Wrote as I like to see all the different guest stars they had on that series. In addition to several quirky movies we've found lately we enjoy our TV times.
So back to weirdness. We turned off the TV about 2 and then tried sleeping. Soreness and tiredness kept me from doing that for a while and if I was, it was a restless sleep. About five in the morning is when it got really weird. I was moaning a couple of times in my sleep (I never/rarely make noises in my sleep and if I do it wakes me up.) I didn't wake up right away but I was caught between wake and sleep. In my sleep I think I was in the shower and then my guy patted me on the back. I felt it in the dream and wake. It made me moan louder. It was like I couldn't communicate. Finally I woke up and asked him what. "He asked, what were you dreaming?" I couldn't remember much except being in the shower and trying to get out but not being able to communicate. He said well it sounded like you were having a nightmare or weird dream.
So we laughed a bit about it, but I lay in bed afterward with the moans deep inside me wanting to get out and I was afraid to fall asleep again in case they tried to escape. I've never had such a strange feeling before. Another thought occurred to me that is probably just a left over thought from a reading I heard yesterday regarding strokes and aphasia. In the dream I felt like I couldn't communicate and yet when I woke everything was fine. But on reflecting and thinking about it I became afraid that if I went to sleep I would have a stroke or something would happen. This made the rest of my sleep time rather disjointed as I couldn't sleep very soundly.
Which leads to a very tired person today and I just feel a little foggy and lost in dreamy headachy weirdness.
