So cool. I love that you kept up with the LDs in spite of the fact that you were getting barely any sleep at all. By comparison, my family's on easy street now! The littlest one's 13 months so we (theoretically) get the whole night of sleep. He's sometimes got one good, banshee shriek in him that makes my blood run cold. But it's just so much easier than those first few months of staggering around, day and night swirled together...

I can still remember how that felt. I once woke up when the baby was crying and started desperately searching for him in a pair of discarded jeans on the floor. I thought he would be in one of the pockets. There's tired and then there's tired.

Anyway, naps! For reasons unknown, I rarely have detectable dreams during naps but it just doesn't matter -- I love 'em! We can only do these on the weekend and only when the stars align but they are blessed things. I'm sure they'll net me an LD one of these days.

Hey, thanks! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. The support and sense of community I've found here has been like rocket fuel for my LDing.

I hear you on the trap of the easily fixable problem. You know, I think LDing itself shows us that we usually have much more power and freedom than we think. The first time that you pull off something in a dream that you previously thought "impossible", you see the world a bit differently. You can't help but wonder whether some of those "mountains" we worry about in waking life are just molehills with a big pile of illusory limitations stacked up around them.
