I've been having trouble sleeping recently. A few weeks ago it was because I was up all night coughing, but I'm over that. Now Robb is sick, which means he snores. But even THAT isn't really what is keeping me awake. I found myself rolling over occasionally last night to make sure he was still breathing when he stopped. And even THAT isn't totally it.
My brain will not shut up recently! And it's not even like anything is going on in my life that would warrant that kind of thing. Everything is routine. And when I do fall asleep? A few nights ago it was a gorgeously furnished house belonging to a world-saving doctor where a nurse asked me if I wanted to read to a patient and it rocked my consciousness for some reason. I've been thinking about that dream for days. Last night it was an adventure involving chopping down a forest to make room for...something I don't recall, having a customer from the bank as an assistant, and flying a friend home and back from his tennis academy in his private helicopter. Oh, and then crashing a car that couldn't stop or turn before giving up and riding to my old home (which I dream about all the time) on a bike with a piece of hard candy in my mouth.
And it's all so vivid and strange and out of control. Sometimes it's so vivid it wakes me up.
What I would give for a night of solid sleep...

At least the dreams you're sharing here sound interesting enough. Being so vivid they wake you up isn't fun, though.
I tossed and turned until at least 3 am last night/this morning. When I finally fell asleep, I had a really long, really vivid dream about David and I being caught in some sort of zombie apocalypse. We were trapped with a bunch of other people (I distinctly remember a large hispanic family, and I remember thinking they were cool because they didn't care that David and I were gay) in either a hotel or an apartment building. Eventually, we decided we had to look for a better place to hide, so we went into what looked like an underground garage. (Yeah, great idea.) As we were winding our way down through the garage, zombies started pouring into the garage's entrance. Thankfully (??), a hospital was located at the bottom of the garage (or whatever it was). I thought we were dead meat due to the fact that the hospital served as a dead end of sorts, but at the last minute nurses poured from the hospital's doors and ... started shoving patients at the zombies -- to distract them. That's when I woke up :(
TMI? Yeah, probably. I had to share it with someone, though...
Whoa! Feel free to share your awesome dreams anytime! That sounds nerve wracking!
Perhaps you should go on some sort of adventure! Maybe your mind is telling you it wants to go out and have fun? :p
Go Justin! Those trees aren't going to chop down themselves.
Ha! Will do, Justin. I have lots of weird dreams -- probably because I'm always stressed out :| Anyway, hope you're feeling at least somewhat better at the moment!
