well, read some more really interesting stuff (after being too stuffed to get on here last night due to no sleep the night before and 8 and a half hours of uni *supplemented with 3 hours on the bus in total to get to and from uni*)

first, I'm not on anything fro depression, funnily enough... dont really want antidepressants as it would probably screw me over even more! haha... and for the preventing sleep thing... further proof not to take them...

funnily enough though, last night i slept for 11 hours straight!! i was quite proud of myself... went to bed at 10pm woke up at 9am (would have been 6am if i had the labs i was ment to today, but thank goodness i only had to start at 1pm *meaning i had to leave the house at 11.30 mind you*) so that was good, and no dreams that i can remember _b yay!

tonight may be a different story though, i have a feeling that because i have to wake up early murphey's law will work against me.... ill try not to think about having to wake up though, that usually makes it harder to sleep...

I guess starting uni and having something to do (no matter how much i dread it) during the day has put me in a better mood, seeming as i get bored rather easily and tend to get depressed when i have too much time to think. Maybe it will help me sleep, but we'll see once i get into my routine again...

i guess i do have a few irrational fears maybe that could be playign out in my dreams though i dont see a connection between them... for instance, the other night i had a nightmare about being in a seaside holiday resort in Miami, and being chased by swarms of bees and men in suits who wanted to rape me then chop me up and put me into a freezer... along with this, some of the men were zombies... really confusing... and i have NO idea how it relates to anything!!

One thing i have to calm myself for though,is my driving test on friday, its been on my mind since before i applied for it... AND I'm doing it in Brown's Bay which is apparently the worst place to do it, because lots of people have failed their first try there... but I'm trying to be positive and saying im GOING to get the licence on friday, instead of "might" so hopefully my determination will help somewhat hehe...

money troubles are a big one too, being a student has sucked my funds right out the window... hence searchign for a job, hence more stress!! and then there are a few other things, along with the stress of uni commitments, exams... blah blah and a bag of chips.

These dreams are the kind that haunt you way after and you don't want to sleep again for fear of having them... they reach deep into your soul and lodge themselves there... they're the kind that make you cringe whenever anything reminds you of them...

Nothing I've done seems to help, and i've ended up getting to sleep REALLy late (or early however you look at it)... I don't know what to do.. i think its starting to affect me in reality... my moods tend to be VERY tempramental (cant spell, too tired) its like they're going up and down with every minute ticking by.. and sometimes its just nothing but blank...

That's why I'm awake now... fear of my subconscious...

Hmmm, been smoking P lately?

That shit gives you a serious psychosis, took me months to get rid of it.

I felt better after dreaming that I cut the ex into tiny pieces and ran the bits through a blender, then stapled her cats to her front door, then burnt her house to the ground then arrrgh, bugger, it was just a dream.

And that was meant as (perhaps somewhat askew) humour.

As it happens I have weird sleep patterns too, sometimes waking up exhausted. It's been going on since I was a kid. There's no cure, sorry. I've checked it out, tough shit. Dreams are so 'out there' that nobody can grasp what's going on. There's no rhyme or reason to them. Sure some daily stresses can influence them but ultimately "it's all in your head".

PS: A bike might help.

no it actally is your mind working through some things... why would we have dreams if it wasnt? just to entertain us when we sleep? no.. because no dreams is usually the best kind of sleep...

but yeah.. i dont know, confusing...
