A Case of the All-Nighters
Does anyone else suffer from these? Mine are normally brought on by immense exhaustion where I fall over halfway hanging from the bed, only to find myself awake. So I toss, turn, squirm, and fidget. Nothing works because as much as I try to make my mind turn off, it keeps pumping 80 mph in 1st gear. Needless to say there is a lot of smoke and I’ll probably need an overhaul the following day. Because on the off chance I actually drift away from sandman’s brush, I’m left with unsettled dreams. These aren’t nightmares or disturbing dreams, but dreams with no foundation, no motive, no reason for the dream to function. Example:
Like a spaceship that has a beach next to a library that had someone’s glasses in a locker, so you took the glasses and laid down on the beach, when the owner comes and gets upset for stealing her glasses, so in swim trunk you go the 2nd floor of the library and camp behind the stairs watching the doorway to the reception area for about an hour, then go sit by a random woman reading a large stack of books, clothes start appearing on you till you’re warm, then a person with the body of a human and the head of a goat or ram comes by, stares at you, then walks away toward reception, the woman reading has eight of her friends stop and they have gathered around the table, behind them another person in a suit body this time with a pig head, looks at me squinting, glances toward the window, back at me, back at the window, back at me, then slightly nods, I look out the window and it’s near dusk, only seven of the friends remain, I stand up from the table.
I wake up. Still exhausted, still unsettled, till doing 90 in a 30 and wondering when I’m going to slow down. It’s like my brain is moving faster than I can steer it. At times like these, sleeping pills don’t normally do much, even if I am exhausted. The pills just can’t decelerate my head. Case and point, I took two 58 minutes ago. Still truckin.
