I had VERY vivid dreams last week. Sleep disturbing dreams. My mind was so very active during all of them and they were so vivid I could remember every detail after I woke up. I blame the time change. Heh.
The first two were set in the library and consisted of me looking for a book (the first night a novel, the second a YA book). If you ever need to fall back asleep in the middle of the night, might I suggest this method? In your mind, go BOOK BY BOOK through your entire library. Seriously. THAT was my dream. Two nights in a row. Oy with the poodles already!
The next night was about my ex-husband. Instead of his usual insistence of what happened at the end of our marriage, he was asking me how I could so quickly re-embrace certain songs that defined "us". Which is weird, because he was hung up on the Once soundtrack which didn't happen until WELL after both of us had remarried. But he was so darn persistent and I kept apologizing but telling him that I couldn't help it - it's SUCH a great album, but I was sorry. So very weird.
The next one, I was married to Hugh Jackman. Yeah, tough, right? Except he had just died as my dream started (oooooh, Freud!). However, the only person who KNEW we were married was Jennifer Lopez. So I could only mourn around her. He was "married" to his other wife just to appease the Australians who would never go for him married to an American, so she got all the public sympathy. However, JLo and I planned a huge funeral parade in NYC. It? Was AWESOME. And I ran into Oprah, who somehow also knew I was the 'real' wife (because Oprah knows all?) and I cried. For about an hour. Or, it at least felt like an hour...It was all very sad and real and I felt like I was really mourning. And HUGH! Man. In my dream memories he was a FANTASTIC husband. So I'm not really surprised the mourning was at an all time high.
I was truly glad for the respite on the fifth night. It was EXHAUSTING, these dreams. Too bad night six brought along a Jack Johnson concert...
(these dreams, heart: this reminds me of a 4th? 5th? grade trip to City of Rocks...i'm old)

oh man... I am laughing only because I also have the most vivid dreams... I'm not sure I will share all of them with anyone, but I know what you mean; they seem and feel SO real! And they make no sense -- which is why I realize in my dream "Oh, I must be dreaming!"
Oh, no. Laugh away! They were INSANE.
Ok, the Hugh Jackman dream...fan-freakintastic! And the jennifer lopez... awesome. Great dream!
Yeah, except for the whole "him being dead" thing. That kinda blew...
At least you get to sleep..I haven't slept all night since DST began.
The only thing that Hugh Jackman dream is missing is the illustrations. That was a seriously fantastic dream. I've had many a disturbing dream lately, one involving a young girl birthing a hamster. Not helping a hamster give birth, but actually giving birth to a hamster. WTH??
If I had your mad skillz, there WOULD have been illustrations.
Speaking of illustrations...EW with the giving birth to a hamster. Seriously WTH...
