When the night has come, and the land is dark

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!
