Pretty weird

[Dylan Tinning]

Well this is pretty confusing to me as it is so sorry. This morning when i woke up i felt like i already woke up in the middle of the night but i couldn't realy remember it... I do remember that when i woke up i thought to myself "this must be a dream" or "i could be dreaming" and just rolled over and thought "i should do something about it" and went back to sleep. So when i woke up this morning i can sort of remember doing it but im not sure if it was a false awakening/a dream. This has been about the 3rd or 4th night in a row and im getting confused??? Any help would be appreciated thanks

Hey Dylan... do you keep a dream journal? I'd say keep one right next to your bed, and maybe even get a lighted pen so you can write in it without needing to get up and turn on the lights... and if this happens again just scribble something... maybe what time the clock says or whatever. Or even simpler... move something. Put a book on the table next to your bed and if you wake up move it onto the floor. Then when you get up in the morning you can check and see if you really woke up or not. If these are FAs you might be able to use them to go lucid.

Nice idea... i used to keep a dream journal but then work started to get in the way and i lost interest so im going to start it up again... I shal try this tonight

Yeah, damn work anyway!!! Heh... when I have to work I hardly remember any dreams... mostly my good experiences are when I'm off and can sleep in. Wish I could bring myself to go to bed earlier on work nights!

Yer i know its really annoying because this week i had 38 hours and next week i have 40 :/ Well just think of the money i suppose

Dream journal works well, if you always use it. i only use it for like 4 days then stop for 1 week and do it again. its to hard to do so sometimes i cant bother .

You usually wake up naturally a couple of times during the night without realising it, so maybe something happened which caused you to remember it this time?

It would be good to remember waking up on those times because i heard it can help with some techs.... also another weird thing happened i think it was last night. My parents where out and I was in my room with the tv on and i was falling asleep then all of a sudden the tv turned off so i got up and it turned out my parents came home and my mum heard the tv still going so she came into my room and she was asking me if i was awake and i didn't reply so she turned it off.... The weird thing is i remember watching the tv and then all of a sudden it just turned off right infront of my eyes and i didn't see anyone come in, turn it off, then walk out before i relized. I think its from lack of sleep coz these 8 hour days at work are getting to me.
