Last night my Husband and I finished re watching the TV show Yellowstone Season 3. Oh my gosh I am so addicted to the show. Anyway I had a dream about being part of that family and Damnnnnn I was getting married to Rip , Whew Sexy man..

I’d say that was a pretty cool dream. I watched most of season 1 but then forgot it was on.

I was about 100lbs and able to fly the thing and clean the air. I had these tiny gel packets that fueled the fly machine. I wasn’t paying attention and flew into 007’s lap while they were taping a scene in one part of the building. I ruined the take, but they loved my fly and wrote me into the script. Meanwhile horror music started playing and another part of the building I had not yet cleaned was being taken over by an evil pope. It used to be the psychological ward. I had pleasant memories Of being treated there. by it was being reconfigured into a lair for the devil. They were laying in wait for me to get to that part of the building then they were going to get me pregnant with the devil. But I outsmarted them by getting pregnant with the actor playing James Bond! Our baby was able to defeat the evil pope and the building went back to its previous life and I finished cleaning the air in the corners.

Hilarious dream!

Is that state lucid dreaming? I have that happen a lot and I hate it. I thought it was hynogogic hallucinations. Freaks me out.

I got 12 hours of sleep. Yay. I woke up for a few seconds maybe 3 times and then for a few minutes around 2, but I was able to get back to sleep each time. My room was freezing and I was wearing shorts and a tank top but I had both of my weighted blankets 20 pounds total so I think that’s why I slept so good.

I call it lucid dreaming. I think it’s a lot like tripping. If you just let it wash over you and go with the flow it’s easier to handle.

Insomnia strikes again! Up in the middle of the night worrying about things (finances, ECT on Friday, etc)

Coolbreeze74 · Sep 30, 2020 at 07:15 AM

I'm still up and it 5:13 in the morning. I took some extra zyprexa. I hope I sleep. I have a long day tomorrow. I'm having a therapist appt, get groceries, and have a Drs appt. The therapy and Drs appt is over the phone. But I'd like to be able to think...

Please universe, let me sleep!

Mountaindewed · Sep 30, 2020 at 10:18 AM

I don’t know how much sleep I got but I think I got enough. I was up for a little bit around 2 but I got back to sleep. I’ve had 2 Mountain Dews and a large iced coffee so far today and I’m still kinda tired. So maybe I didn’t sleep that great.

I was awake all night again

Nammu · Sep 30, 2020 at 02:39 PM

Was a multiple wake up night. My cat has taken to sleeping on the far corner kittycorners from me. But he got up and left in disgust after the umpteenth time I repositioned all the pillows and moved from side to side again.

Nammu.. Awwww poor Sir not approving of your flip flopping .. Lil stinker

Had my phone session with my T today. Hes legit shocked that the sedation is still ongoing.. He said he doubts i've ever sleep every night for a couple weeks 6-7 years ago.

The only problem with sleeping so much is the amount of pain I am in when I wake up joint wise due to laying in bed so long , Fibro yes .. But joint pain

I so hope Xelanz hasnt stopped working, I'll be a mess if so.. It will show up on my blood work.. I see my Rheumatologist in a couple weeks. Id say im crossing my fingers but they hurt..

Happy sleep cookies to all in need

Nammu · Sep 30, 2020 at 10:21 PM

I’ll cross my fingers and toes for ya!

~Christina · Sep 30, 2020 at 10:31 PM

Thanks Nammu lol

*Beth* · Sep 30, 2020 at 11:15 PM

That's sucky, Christina, about the pain. I think I've mentioned that I'm sure I have fibro. Never spoke with a GP about it because I haven't found one I trust that much. But my pdoc believes I have it.

Anyway, that's the down side, for me, of getting a good night of sleep. I awaken in so much pain I'm miserable. The pain itself causes me to feel tired, even when I've slept well.

Slept better last night than I have in months. In so much pain today that I feel queasy. Now I'm thinking of taking only 12.5 Seroquel tonight with the ZzzQuil, instead of the usual 25mg with the Z. I'll probably be awake at 1 a.m., but at least tomorrow won't be so physically painful.

Rock and hard place.

Polibeth · Oct 01, 2020 at 02:11 AM

Nammu - I'm up because my cat was upset about me repositioning myself - lol. He's such an attention hog that once he's up in the night I must be up with him as well.

So it's 2:11am and I'm wide awake!

I'm happy you are sleeping but sorry to hear about all of your pain. It's always something isn't it!! ((hugs))

Hugs!

The Black Dog · Oct 02, 2020 at 03:24 AM

Meds knocked me out too early. Now im wide awake. It’s not the worst thing...

Merlin · Oct 02, 2020 at 03:48 AM

Sleeping meds not working tonight, probably because I slept more than 6 hours with a migraine, then a couple more after eating a light supper.

Coolbreeze74 · Oct 02, 2020 at 05:09 AM

Still awake, worried about my son. I hope he tells them the truth. Hope I get some sleep...
