I want to start off by saying that I have the MOST vivid dreams every, single night.  My dreams are so realistic that there are points during the day that I question whether or not I did or said something I dreamt about.  Many times, hearing about other people’s dreams is boring and uninteresting because it means nothing to you.  But I think I could be paid for the things I dream about in my sleep.  Here’s a little taste..

My usual dream experience involves having “people in my room.”  That’s the easiest way I have come to explain the experience.  Basically, while I’m sleeping, I will see people in my room and talk with them as if I were awake.  When I was younger, I can recall a few of my friends were sitting on my dresser talking to me (in my sleep of course).  Another time, while I was on the high school soccer team, my coach was in my room telling us to run sprints.  I was actually walking back and forth across my room thinking I was running laps.

Sometimes I’ll dream that my co-workers are in my room and I feel uncomfortable that I’m laying in bed while they are working around me.  There was even a time when a red headed girl with freckles walked up to my bed and stood in front of me.  I propped myself up on my elbow and looked at her wondering what she needed.  Somehow I knew that she was “waiting for something” and I pointed to the corner of my room saying she could wait over there.  Something about this makes me think I should be freaked out, but I’m not.

What I REALLY want to do is set a camera in my room to catch these dreams on video.  Whenever the dreams are happening, it takes me a few minutes (though I can’t be sure) to realize it’s happening again.  Once I do realize, I’m able to fall back asleep.  I almost always remember in the morning – though there have been times when my roommate would inform me of what I was saying during the night.

I think the whole situation of having “people in my room” during my sleep is hysterical.  It would so funny to be able to see myself doing it on camera.  I really think I should look into a sleep therapist and have them analyze my hyper mind during sleep.  Or maybe I should just write a book about my other life during my sleep.

Sweet dreams.
