I fall asleap while 'acting out' the story in my mind and often find myself dreaming about the rest of the story while I'm sleeping.

Sometimes I wish I could recapture it. Once in a blue moon, if I can go right back to sleep, I can re-enter the same dream.Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020898804375958182.post-82422485357682029162015-04-03T06:33:10.931-07:002015-04-03T06:33:10.931-07:00Nap awakenings can be very confusing to me as well...Nap awakenings can be very confusing to me as well, JoJo.
