Yep. I was in bed just after 22:00. I slept well. I did dream. What I remember is a recurring dream, where over and over, I was trapped in a time loop. I knew I was in it, but couldn't quite figure out how to break it. One end of the loop was an ancient life of mine, during a particularly nasty war. The other end was to modern days. The loop may not have been mind to alter. I dreamed that dream at least three or four times throughout the night. It was sort of a longish dream, too, as dreams go. The warfare didn't bug me, actually these days bother me more. Being as ill as I can be.
I set the alarm for 6:00, since I was in bed so early. I did hear it and woke. I turned it off thinking I was up, basically. Another version of that dream, and some time later, and I went to roll out. I thought it had just been a snap sleep, with that dream being short. Whatever about the dream, but then I noticed light. Yeah, no, not a snap sleep. It was 8:30 when I kicked out. Must have needed it, I suppose. I hate when that happens. I was sure I was simply going to turn off the alarm, roll over, then roll out. My body rarely tricks me like that. There are times when I don't remember turning off the alarm, there are times where I do remember but decide, or realize, that I can't wake. But very rarely do my compliments of mind and body trick each other or get baffled like that. Irritating. Meh, I'll live.
I've been slathering the goo on, at night, in the morning, after showering. It will still take a while to recover. I do wonder about my soap though. It might be exceptionally drying. I love liquid soap though. And using a spray bottle to apply it means very little waste. I thought that might be too cold in the winter, but I just spray it into my hands, create a lather there, than apply it, and that has worked perfectly. I may need to find some other soap, liquid or not, that is heavily fatted, and use them in some sort of rotation when I shower more often. Zero fat soap might just be too much, especially during really dry parts of the year. Something I am noticing is that, when my skin is more moist it holds heat in better. Or... that is how it seems. Hmm, how about this... it seems to regulate my body heat better? Yeah, that is what I am thinking. I'll keep an eye on things, and give a better review of my thoughts, observations, when they are more fully developed.
Hmm? Today? I don't know. I did get some of that all done yesterday. And I think I can get to some more and go on with today's list. But I have no clue at this moment. Essentially, I just woke up. My first coffee is not finished. I'll... get there, and probably shortly. In spite of oversleeping I am feeling good. Hmm, might turn the furnace up just a touch though too. That seems to help. I sleep in my cold room wonderfully, but need just a touch of heat in the day. Creaky bones and sore muscles result from trying to move and work in too much cold.
Later.
Good evening, Doomster..
ReplyDeleteMy sleep cycle has also been whacked . I'm to bed way to early and awake now? Grump..
Anyway, after letting the dog out and back in I'm back to slumbering, hopefully.
Have a good night with cool dreams.
Oh, but I hope you are at least enjoying the sleep? If the sleep can be enjoyed, the rest of the world, sometimes, will just have to sort itself out. May your dreams be wild, wooly, and pleasant.
ReplyDeleteI did manage to get enough sleep. As to dreams? If they were wold and wooly I can't remember.
ReplyDeleteGood. Sleep, all by itself, seems the best when sleep has been lacking. At least as I see things. Dreams, when I am miserably tired, seem like less sleep somehow.
ReplyDeleteThey say we dream many times every night. I honestly am not sure if I believe them. People who think they know, especially in these times, have proven wrong more often than not. If you believe someone because they have a ph.d., it's much like believing someone because they have a high IQ. Best to stick with believing in people whose predictions more often bear fruit, and who say things that, if not always easy, ring true from your own experience. Leave theory to people who are underpaid, underperformers, for their credentials (minus government stooges who seem to be overpaid for their (to the government) acceptable, probably preferable, hubris).
I know I dreamt twice last night, but as soon as I awoke .... poof.. the content was gone.
ReplyDeleteUndoubtedly, you are correct in your assessment of much research.
You know, if I don't have feelings about the dream, I myself don't mind forgetting them. But if I have had a strong reaction, I don't like forgetting them. No choice in the matter, always. It's sort of like, regarding the dreams that leave me in an emotional state, I feel that if I forget them that I am being ripped off.
ReplyDeleteI used to keep writing paper and pen by my bedstand. That didn't work out for me. Waking enough to use pen and ink was not likely, and when I could wake, writing didn't make sense as an exercise always. Either I remember until morning or I don't. I have learned to focus, and rehash the dream in my mind until it sticks, sometimes. But that's it. Besides, my dreams can be far to long to try to pen. Typing them is sometimes difficult. Usually what you see written is an extreme abbreviation. Think cliff notes.
Yeah, well, research needs to be defunded. The idea was that great ideas would come from that. As it turns out, anything the government supports seems to go to crap so fast, while helping to further destroy that industry, that it just never pays. Scientists of various sorts seem to think we are stupid. Lets just see how stupid we are, and how smart they are, when they have to get an actual job, not being supported by the government in some cushy fake world. That guy would possibly be lucky to get a job at McDonald. Real life doesn't work on screwed up theory or theorists.
Actually, a few days ago I remembered a snippets of dreams. That was so unusual that I mentioned those snippets on the blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, certain types of research is should not be funded, but I am thankful for the research that went into blood pressure medicine. It has kept me from having a stroke.
You have a pleasant rest of the week, Doom. My sons are congregating at the house, I have some apple pies to bake and other sundry goodies. I may not be on the blogs for awhile. .. or I really should not.
I'll have to investigate. Dreams are a strong part of my... storied life. Not just mine. I see things in the dreams of others.
ReplyDeleteApple pie? Lucky lads. If I don't see you for a bit, have a great Thanksgiving!
