I think I dream every night. Sometimes I remember them but most times it's as if I draw the curtain back a bit and catch a glimpse. I like my dreams. Some are exciting, some funny and at times weird but never scary. Maybe I dream so much because I read a lot. The dreams are an extension of my reading pattern. I never read about outer space nor dream of it. Sometimes dreams cover a long period of time and we think they last all night. One night I noticed my clock before I fell asleep, had a dream and woke up. Looked at my clock again and only a few minutes had passed. In my mind, this dream had carried on for hours.
Most people know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. One thing for sure is, you don't lay around for a long time to think about it.
When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is look at the clock. If it is around 6am, I try for more sleep. If it is around 7am, it's time to think about getting up. The next thing I do is weigh myself. I lost 17 lbs. after my heart operation and I don't want it back. I want to stay below 170. No need in dragging around an extra 15 lbs. This morning it was 169.0. That's good. Usually it's that or below. I have yet to hit 170. That would be panic time.
