during my nap today, i was dreaming and i was aware that i was dreaming. i was trying to wake up though. to do this, in the dream i found my room (where i had placed my cellphone before my nap) and tried to program my phone's alarm to ring in a minute. i thought for some reason that if i programmed the alarm in my dream, it would ring in real life and wake me up. only after waking up i realized that it doesn't really work that way. in the dream i never got around to turning on the alarm because of distractions and i ended up waking myself up by meshing my dream world and real world together somehow. it feels like the sensation of quickly turning my head to the right was what woke me up but i can't figure out if i actually did that in real life. another weird thing is that while i was waking up (half asleep i guess), elements from the dream world were in the real world. or maybe i was still entirely dreaming. i can't tell.

i remember thinking for a second in my dream about how it would be to stay in dream world forever.. everything there is darker, less vivid, and often scary. but there i can do whatever i want. it's weird when i have these dreams where i can actually control what i'm doing in them. it seems to happen more often during naps than at night.. i guess because i don't fall into as deep a sleep in a nap.

and now i have a headache :)
