HOW do YOU SLEEP?

[Joz]

this doesn't bother me.

 

[5stringJeff]

I sleep in the fetal position - or prefer to.

I work best with 7 - 7 1/2 hours of sleep.

I have cool dreams. Like last night, I dreamt I was learning to play the sax... except I didn't have a mouthpiece. Still, I was doing better than most.

I have dreams where I wake up angry, I mean really angry. It is the closest thing I have to nightmares. The dreams usually involve my spouse being unfaithful in one way or another.

Lately, I've noticed that I enjoy sleeping at an angle, across the bed. If it's a nightmare, I can tell myself that's what it is and wake myself up. A nurse told me most people can't do that. I sleep with the covers over my head. Tho' I'm a bit claustophobic, this doesn't bother me.

With my eyes closed----someone had to say it, Joz

[JohnGalt]

I had a dream. It was about Jesus, not the good Jesus that saves people, but the bad Jesus that tears people to pieces. I don't remember the bulk of the dream, but here it is:

I see a guy, obviously Jesus, hanging on a cross. All of the sudden his head is lifted and he glares in my direction. He rips himself off the cross and brings the two nails from his hands with him. He chases me for an indefinite period of time when his face suddenly distorts into what can only be described as demonic. Yes, a demonic Jesus was chasing me with his own nails. If that doesn't scare you shitless then this will, he said, "Jesus loves the little children." Right as he swung the nails at me. Then I woke up. I was sweating profusely. Consequently, I also began swearing profusely. "Fuck, fuck, fuck, mother of fuck. Jesus...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Most people can understand my distress, as it is typical after night mares. That however isn't the full extent of this event.

The next morning I decided that chicken quesadillas sounded great. They weren't. While I was cooking, the tortilla started to burn, so I went to flip it. While in mid-air, in the crisp part I saw Jesus, he winked at me. Yes, I saw Jesus wink at me in my breakfast tortilla.

I will let this settle in.

I think I am insane.

 

[Nienna]

Do you have a bedtime ritual, such as tub soaking or reading? I soak in the tub and read in the tub. Then wash my face & shave legs. Then I say my prayers. I fix the covers and pillows the right way, then turn on the fan and turn out the lights.
Do you use medication?No
Do you sleep on your side or back or stomach?I sleep on my side with my body pillow btwn legs and the covers over my exposed ear and eyes, but not my nose or mouth. I have been trying to sleep on my back more because my shoulders ache in the morning.
Do you snore? No, my hubby takes care of that. Dream alot? Yes
Recurring dreams? Yes
Dream in color? Yes
Have nightmares or night terrors? Nightmares, sometimes. I don't wake myself up, but I can "direct" my dreams. If it gets scary, I go back to a different part of the dream and re-dream it, making adifferent choice.
Do you get 8 hours? More, less? Less, but I need about 9
How about sleeping alone? No
Do you cuddle or sleep on opposite sides of the bed? Cuddle at first, then move apart. But wake up and touch off & on during the night. I'll wake up and give hubby a quick, half-asleep kiss, and I have woken up to find him holding my hand in his sleep.

My poor husband has to put up with a lot at bedtime. I am a very light sleeper, and I CANNOT sleep without the fan, the white noise. I also have to have a certain pillow, the covers have to be a certain way.... that poor guy!

 

[USViking]

Do you have a bedtime ritual, such as tub soaking or reading?
No

Do you use medication?
Not to get to sleep.
The only medication I must use sometimes is indomethacin for gout.

Do you sleep on your side or back or stomach?
Always start off on side or stomach.

Do you snore? Dream alot? Reocurring dreams? Dream in color? Have nightmares or night terrors?
My snoring has been known to drive people from the room.
I believe everyone dreams; but you do not recall any dreams except those occuring just a few minutes before waking up.
I dream in color.
Rarely any bad nightmares; what is a night terror?

Do you get 8 hours? More, less?
Most of the time.

How about sleeping alone? Do you cuddle or sleep on opposite sides of the bed?
I sleep most soundly when sleeping with someone. Females only need apply.
Cuddling is nice, but I'm not sure I've done it while asleep.

Sometimes I am aware I am dreaming, but usually the dreams seem real,
even the most impossible best ones, like when I am flying as high as an airplane, or breathing underwater.
Yeaterday I woke I laughing (Can't remember what was so funny). Now that is a good way to start the day!

I have had for decades now the recurring dream that I didn't actually graduate from high school. It's really freaky how damn often I have this dream --- it often involves me, at age 32, having to repeat a year of high school in order to qualify for my diploma. This is unavoidable, because otherwise, neither my college nor law school degrees will be valid. (Don't worry, I did actually graduate from HS: I have a copy of the diploma.)

I think it's a pretty basic message: I fear that for all I've accomplished in my life, I'm still lacking some basic foundation that I'll be exposed on somehow, and I fear that.

 

[USViking]

Usually a nightmare can be remembered. It's usually just a really, really bad dream.
A night terror is one where children wake up screaming. Sometimes children even appear to be awake while experiencing these.
I've had them so badly that my chest is very tight and full of pain; sheer panic. Usually there is profuse breathing & sweating. I cannot recall, not one. All I can remember is the extreme pain & labored breathing.

Thank goodness I've never had anything that bad!

I sometimes have dreams which I am relieved to realize were dreams when I wake up, but nothing really terrifying.
