It's been a while since my last lucid dream, and it truly irks me. I believe it is time to get back in the habit of recording my dreams through a more tangible medium upon waking, so that I could possibly indulge in this particular sleeping pattern more often. Because ultimately, who doesn't enjoy the concept of controlling her own dream?
On a stranger note, it is apparent that I am an avid sleep talker. As of late my roommate has gifted me with all types of night time stories, ranging from German gibberish tangents to aggravated cries of distress, and even muffled conversations with myself followed by eerie giggling. Sometimes I'm thankful for having a roommate that doesn't sleep until 3 a.m so that I can hear the psychotic slurs that slip from my mouth as I sleep. Truly fascinating stuff i'd say. I also did a bit of research on the topic a while back and found this quite profound:
"Modern sleep science and the law accept that sleep talking is not a product of a conscious or rational mind and is therefore usually inadmissible in court."
Who would have thought the law and sleep talking could potentially face one another? Deep Sh*t. Anyhow, back to some recent dreams. I believe last night I dreamed that I received an 'F' on a paper I am currently waiting to receive for my WGS class. I could somehow feel my stomach sink in my sleep, which was an extremely odd feeling. At some point the letter on the paper sort of shifted into an 'A' so I was able to rest a little easier (no pun intended). Some other craziness went down, but I forgot it pretty quickly this morning. Agh, it is time to improve my current habits and delve further into the thoughts and behaviors of my unconscious mind! Saddle up, ya'll!

Hide and Seek
Well, then. It's been quite some time since my last post, and clearly A LOT has changed. Firstly, landing this job at the Coffee Bean has not only allowed me to rack in some dough but it's shifted my mood tremendously. Despite the sometimes strenuous closing hours at the Bean and all the reading for classes I've accumulated with this semester, all has been ridiculously well. Spraaang Breaakk was utterly fantastic, as I was able to visit with friends and family, proving to be quite a luxury in this day and age for meh. I busted out some pretty badass grades for my midterms (well, in a few classes at least), I've been able to try some tasty cuisine through random expeditions, ANNND it appears my social circle is starting to enhance because of some very awesome people. Not sure why that sounded so pretentious..
Anyway, I've been neglecting proper sleep for the longest time so when I manage to take a nap or two or am awarded a few extra hours in the morning, my unconscious mind just goes berserk. I've noticed recent trends in my dreams that entail confrontation, awkward situations, HEIGHTS, traveling, and altercations with people I either miss or have not seen in the. longest. time. For example, part of my dream this morning was set at a random house and two of my twin sister friends from high school were with me attempting to get down from the highest part of the building. However, a rope or suspension cable was not available to help us successfully get down without dying.. Yet, I somehow managed to reach the bottom which shifted into my Grandma's house. From there I was seen in my Uncle's backroom with friends and family visiting, those of which I was just being introduced. Out of nowhere a group of older men who appeared to be some of my Dad's old friends tried to come into the house, yet were unsuccessful. At some point I was running in the driveway attempting to shoo them from the property, screaming as if they were rapist perpetrators.. I think I may have called the cops on them as well. After they left the property, I needed to leave so I apologized to the newest members of my family and bid them farewell. Other pretty crazy dreams have also taken place; too bad I can not remember the details as vividly.
As for now, it's a wee bit toasty so I'm going to hit the sheets and hopefully have some fairly mellow dreams. Over and out, mateys. a
