This one's kind of awkward LOL. Firstly, I wasn't even fully asleep. I could still feel my body in bed. But whatever I was portraying in my mind seemed real. Like It was a dream, but I was still awake. And I remember that if I didn't focus enough, it would go away. The setting was a shower. I wasn't actually in it, but I tried to imagine the sound of the shower going, hoping that my girlfriend was in it so that we could... Nevermind LOL. The point is... I was half awake, and half asleep. And dreaming at the same time. What is this?! It was a dream, no doubt about that. But what exactly is this? Half dreaming? My body was not fully asleep, I could feel my body laying in my bed. But my mind kept dreaming... This dream is not being rated.
Hmn, now this is some odd happenings. So I have this dream, right? And the only part I can remember is right at the end where I (in the dream) am exhausted and hug/lean against a certain lady-friend of mine. Well, she think is best that we sit down before I crumble into a zero-energy mass, so she starts walking me (whilst I lean my head on her shoulder) over toward a park bench. (Weren't we just in a gymnasium??) Well, the motion of walking/dragging me over to the bench caused my head to slip down... down her front a little over half a foot. Now it should be clear why I didn't feel like just forgetting this dream. Okay, so I wake up. And it's hours before I need to 'rise 'n shine', so I attempt to re-enter the dream. Creative, imaginative guy that I am, that shouldn't be hard, right? True. I can see the dream-location in my head, I'm there, she's there. Now poke her, Elliot. 'Kay, that works. But I didn't feel it. It's not me, it's "me". Waitasecond... I'm in third person perspective, falling into a stage-1 sleep reconstruction (or continuation) of my dream, right? Okay, then WHY is it that I can't get back into my dream-self? I mean, the dream is even throwing in some odd things and non-sequitors like it would if it was a true dream. Because it IS. BUT I STILL CAN'T GET MYSELF INTO IT! Grrrrr.... Well. Does the counsel of my peers here on DV tell me anything about this conundrum?
