Thread: Bemistaken's Workbook

Hey Lucy,
Last night was brutal! My insomnia kicked into high gear and like a Vampire I stayed up all night and watched the sun come up. However, not all was lost because I spent most of my day focusing on ADA and RC's. I even got a chance to meditate! Let me tell you, I forgot how wonderful meditation can be...I was truely in my own element yesterday .

I went to bed at 8:00am (insomnia is a B#tch) and slept for 4 1/2 to 5 hours. I did my WBTB for about 10 minutes because if I stay up any longer I will not go back to sleep. As I lay in bed focusing on my breathing, I felt myself slip in and out of consciousness. Then I had some weird 'limb jerking' movements. I felt the numbness, the tingling, and the feeling of floating. Two or three times I had a feeling of my breathe being taken away (cut short?). If I could have just laid there a little while longer, I have no doubt I would have had a WILD. It just reminds me of how all my other WILD's use to be. School is out and the neighbors kids woke me up playing outside. I know that if I would have not had my insomnia issue and went to bed at a decent time like regular human beings I would have been successful. My WBTB would have been at 4:00am instead of 1:00pm. I would not have been interrupted with kids playing outside at 4:00am in the morning .

I love getting back to the basics because my dream was so vivid before my WBTB. I have learned that I wake up after every dream cycle so my planning is crucial.

Dream: I was on the telephone talking with either a credit collector or someone from a bank. I was giving them advise on how to get their credit cleaned up and I was talking about Credit Karma. I even remember telling them that they can put in writing how they want the credit collector to communicate with them (via by phone, email, or snail mail). In other words, I started giving the credit collector credit advise on their credit and how they can get their cedit score up . I should have caught this as a dream sign, but in RL I talk so much that I just didn't see this as being unusual...this is truely something I would do in RL .

That's all for now Lucy, I know I will see you soon!
