Strange night's sleep

on the panda trail!

I had the weirdest and worst dreams last night... I'll say one involved my boyfriend, and my best mate and another person but I refuse to ellaborate. I'll just say that it was so realistic that I woke up feeling really worried, shocked and scared. It was probably the worst nightmare I've ever had. Not scary in subject matter, but it was more that it had happened to me. And because I dream in absolute technicolour, it makes my dreams even more real. The other dream was just strange

I thought it was human standard that dreams are in 16 million colours but it turns out I'm a weird percentage of the population who can do so. Everyone else I've surveyed dreams in either black and white or sepia, and can see symbolic colours (such as red traffic light, or a yellow flower, etc). I think my little sister Jacqui can dream in full colour, and she also gets that weird sleep paralysis that I do. Now THAT is a weird experience. Feels like pins and needs overcome your entire body, and you feel awake but can't move, and you're not sure whether your eyes are open or not. Probably not but I always question it. And no matter what, everytime I get sleep paralysis, I dream. I always wake up tense, and it usually lasts for about 5-10 minutes, then I am able to fight against it and wake up. To stop it happening again, I have to get up and walk around and do something, then I can usually sleep properly again. If I don't then it just keeps happening, over and over again. I usually get suckered in to sleeping again because it usually happens when I'm really tired. I usually wake up dazed too, not refreshed. Weird stuff. I'm a freak. I have lots of weird sleeping habits. Jesse told me I cough in my sleep, and it's been verified that I like to sleep diagonal and take all the blankets.

Does anyone else out there dream in vivid colour? Or get this weird sleep paralysis thing? I guess it's kinda like being left handed- you're the minority and people think it's a little odd but there ARE others out there. What's the chances that Jesse is left handed eh...

ok seeing as though I am at work, I should keep doing my stuff. I am currently looking for a laptop online, as I keep getting shifted from computer to computer and I need my own workspace, including virtual workspace. I've put in a few bids at www.grayslonline.com.au. They've got some good Dell 1.6's 512mb with all the good stuff like DVD for under $1000. Back to it.
