Seems I have rather out of the ordinary dreams that I can wake from and go back to sleep and pick up where I left off. I did this best when I wore "The Patch" to quit smoking a few years back. BTW......I am gonna quit again soon but I hate to not do well at something and I stink at quitting so I quit quitting for a while.....LOL! But I digress........

Ahem!

Anyway.......especially on the patch...I have very colorful dreams and they actually make sense (beginning, middle and end) and if for some reason I am wakened in the middle of them....I can return to the exact spot I left off if it isn't over 5 minutes before I can fall asleep again.

Also, my mother died in 1982........and the only dreams I have ever had about her were total nightmares! Three dreams in all.....in all these years......and they were gruesome and scary and I woke from them crying and I couldn't shake the morbid saddness for days!

And this is something interesting.........my dad died in 1997 and I have NEVER EVER had one single dream with him in it at any time in my entire life! I find that really, really odd! Just for the mere fact that I have had recent dreams of a person I went to elementary school with and haven't seen since then.....and yet.....not one single itty, bitty dream of my dad!

May I take the couch now???????
