Hai folks,
Next to my bed I have my drawer. I usually have a drink there. Also on it are three things in neat order. Closest to me is my newtons cradle. In the middle is a lava lamp that hasn't seen use for a while. Then to the end, this magnetic sculpture thing that you can set off and it rotates and spins (I'm into shit like that haha).
A couple of weeks back, I woke up in the morning. I opened my eyes, turned my head and saw my newtons cradle, the object nearest, was turned so the 5 balls were facing me (click here to see the exact model). I found it strange, had absolutely no recollection of it.
About 3 to 4 years a go I used to sleep walk, going for walks around the house and I'd often be found standing in dark rooms in the corner mumbling. Once I tried to leave the house but couldn't operate the door. On another occasion, I went into my parents room at midnight and asked for a glass of water for my friend, and then muttered something about a transparent foot. On another occasion, we went to a hotel and I slept walk at night and went for a piss in the bathtub. Had no recollection of any of these sleep walking phenomena. I figured I must have just been asleep and I moved the cradle.
A week later, I have a distressing night. Tossing and turning. Sure enough, in the morning the cradle is turned. Facing me. Not turned to a weird angle, not pushed, not placed somewhere else. Precisely twisted so all 5 balls face me.
Last night it happened again. I had a strange night, not poor sleep but a little restless. I got a drink, came into my room and saw the cradle turned. This time I scared me a bit. I thought hard, I had a rough memory of twisting it but as far as I can remember I wasn't even thinking, I just sat up and did it, then went back to sleep... I wasn't properly conscious, I was just moving. At least, thats what I think I can remember... I wonder if I just fabricated a memory... its all confusing.
What I want to know is, why? Why am I doing this? If its because I'm having trouble sleeping, what exactly has suddenly started making me turn my newtons cradle? Why the cradle? Why at the same angle so precisely?
EDIT: Might help by adding that one night I tried to drink from my lava lamp thinking it was a bottle.
