To Sleep Perchance...



C. Dale Young and Brent Goodman have posts about recent dreams. I also got an email from an old friend that included bits regarding a couple of her dreams. I have other friends who seem to be regular dream machines. I'm astonished when we're having drinks or dinner and they just rattle off what they remember dreaming. All of which leads to my thinking about my own (lack of) dreams. I can't recall the last time I had a dream I remembered. Not a bit. No nightmares either. It's not something I usually think about until someone else brings it up. But it makes me wonder what I might be missing.

You may not be sleeping well. I used to feel as if I didn't dream. Turned out I was sleeping poorly, tossing, turning, having a hard time falling asleep. I got one of those sound generator things and got a better bed. Now I dream and remember it often.

I fear that this might very well be the case. I've never been a good sleeper, but it's gotten worse as I've gotten older. It's not uncommon for me to wake two or three times in a night.

Lunesta has helped me get five to six hours of sleep a night. When I don't take it, I'm awake on and off all night...

But I do dream...so I must be getting some good sleep...

I've considered the Ambien/Lunesta route. But the idea of using something like that unnerves me. Addictive personality can be a bitch. I've got enough vices as it is.
