It’s true. My therapist never understood when I talked to her about my life in dreams and how it was extraordinary compared to this one. The main thing is that I wake up in the morning and it’s just the worst feeling because after like a few seconds of peace everything I have to do comes rushing into my head. And I’ll have just come from a dream where I was toying with the mafia by messing with their drug stashes then flying around invisible just to confuse them. And I come back to work, work work.
I could sleep all day every day. I’m always so tired too. The longest I can go without feeling sleepy is like…an hour. And even then if I’m near a bed that changes pretty fast. I’ve seen a doctor about it who had no idea why, we ran all these tests and nothing showed up. My pdoc said it sounded like depression. I just want to sleep.
I’ve stayed in bed a pretty long time before. It used to be a real problem until I set myself on a strict routine for waking up even if I didn’t have to.
When I was on Haldol back in the 70’s, I went to bed at 6 o’clock. They it to me gave at 9 o’clock. I couldn’t sleep because my body was tired of sleeping. It was hell.
My ex-fiance described a similar thing about dreams. But he didn’t like to talk about them much. He said talking about them would make them less special.
He also spends a great deal of time sleeping and says that it is all he wants to do.
Of course the depression makes me feel the same way.
I love talking about dreams and listening to other people’s. I think they can reveal so much about a person.
I guess my anxiety keeps me in bed a lot. I get overwhelmed to point of mental paralysis and end up stuck in bed for hours. And when you’re in bed for hours not much to do aside from sleep especially if you’re already tired.
It’s amazing what the brain can imagine.
