Recently, I have noticed that, upon waking, I remain in the dream sort of mode of thought. It happens most every day, and produces some interesting thoughts.
For example, today, I awoke to go to my father's house for Easter lunch. For about 30 minutes, I stayed in bed half-awake. I was utterly convinced that I had to think of a way to make a soup-pie for my father that contained AgCl2. I was thinking of how I could accomplish this. I was afraid that I would mix the wrong amount and end up with left over chlorine that would kill them or would end up with gold floating in the pie which I imagined would not be fun to bite into(I realize that Ag is silver, but I thought it was gold during the instance). I started to do the calculations for balancing the reaction, and realized I needed paper and calculator, but I didn't want to get up because the bed was comfortable. Eventually, I decided that I would not have enough time to make the pie if I kept in bed, and got up. I immediately came to my senses and laughed incredibly at myself.
The funny thing is that I was fully aware that I was in bed, and that I was partially asleep, and that I had to leave at 12:30. This happens quite often and is always amusing. It is almost a reverse sleep paralysis.
Does this happen to you, and please share your experiences, I am sure they are entertaining.
