Just to introduce myself: I've got very strange sleeping patterns since I'm pretty much nocturnal (I don't know if it's DSPS or something). When everybody else is asleep, I'm alive; I so much prefer the night time, my motivation is at it's peak. The rest of the day I go on a zombie-like autopilot.

I'm in my last year of school and I've been told by teachers that I make "excellent contributions" to class but the weird thing is that for most of the day I'm in a state of sleep while my eyes are open. It's hard to explain, but I know my mind is drifting off, my conciousness compromised and that the only part of my brain that's really there is the part that keeps my eyes open and makes these "excellent contributions" without me knowing. Sometimes I'm not even sure my eyes are open. When I leave the doors of the classroom I forget everything that happened and the only time I "remember" it again is when I go through the stuff a second time.

Sometimes I can't tell the difference between reality and dreaming. Maybe it's because of my habits. Sometimes I don't remember falling asleep. Sometimes I wake up in strange places. Sometimes I do things I'm convinced I did in a dream but they turn out to be real. And my mother told me that I talk "scientific" jargon whenever she tries to wake me up though I can't remember.

As of dreams, I never really had full control. Flying, breathing underwater and superhuman strength seem natural to me in dreams. When I heard of lucid dreaming, though I'd give it a shot. The time I sleep is very short and irregular so it never takes long. When I tried WILD, twice I ended up entering an increasing blackness but was forced to wake up again. It was like holding your breath; the second time I lasted longer remembering the first but aborted. Then with MILD I kept telling myself I was dreaming but my mind kept evading all RCs so I quit and let the dream happen.

Since I keep screwing with my biological clock I get these strange "states" of mind. They range from utter confusion and OCD-like behaviour to excessive concentration and clarity (a phase I like to call "The Metastate"). I also have a strange nervous twitch in my neck now I think I should get checked out.

So that's basically it. Sorry for all that text; since it's past midnight I can type faster than I can think.
