Sometimes though, they even go beyond that - I'm a bit of a weird sleeper, and I sometimes sit up and talk to my husband, though I'm clearly still asleep. The last time it happened was when I was reading Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay and started talking to him about comic books. He wrote everything I said down and still mocks me about it!Michelle Fluttering Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793681725475475156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-63804506465710863872008-09-21T23:11:00.000-07:002008-09-21T23:11:00.000-07:00Matt - It is an inspiring story.

The book is good so far.<BR/><BR/>Joy - Dreams of serial killers are no fun! I know because I've had them. :-( I also dreamed about George Bush twice--right before he won the elections. For as long as I can remember I have had dreams about the winning presidential candidate sometime before the election, regardless of who I vote for. I haven't yet had one of those dreams this year. I don't put much stock in them--but it's kind of eerie how accurate they have been.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-24348130378869622082008-09-21T20:45:00.000-07:002008-09-21T20:45:00.000-07:00I'm already missing summer, even though autumn is ...I'm already missing summer, even though autumn is just getting started - I want those lazy days back!

I sometimes wonder if that has to do with the visual images we take in when we are watching it.<BR/><BR/>Carrie K. - I try to watch what I read right before bedtime too for the same reason.<BR/><BR/>Linda - You aren't alone. I sometimes think I am strange because I so often remember my dreams.<BR/><BR/>Yvonne - It seems that way, doesn't it? It wasn't too bad here today, thank goodness. High 80's. Beats the 102F we had last week at this time.<BR/><BR/>Bryan - I wouldn't mind if that were true here. Summer just doesn't like to loosen her grip so easily.<BR/><BR/>And thank you for the nice words. :-)<BR/><BR/>Marie - Haha! Yes, my dreams can be pretty strange too. <BR/><BR/>Nicki - I bet those dreams were fun! Several months ago, my husband and I were watching a season of Law and Order on DVD and for awhile my dreams seemed to follow down that path. It was kind of scary--not the kind of dreams I want to have again.<BR/><BR/>Jen - It doesn't happen too often with me either, but when it does, it sticks out. <BR/><BR/>Samantha - It happens to me a lot that I remember my dreams. If I write them down immediately upon waking or tell my husband about them, I usually can remember them much more vividly. The memory of the dream fades as the day goes by. <BR/><BR/>Jennifer - I dream far too often about work. Ugh. Especially when something is pressing or I'm worried about something. I find that a lot of my dreams tend to revolve around things I am worried about or am planning to do in general.<BR/><BR/>Melody - It's an interesting experience, dreaming about something you have read. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-44946962888876728702008-09-21T18:31:00.000-07:002008-09-21T18:31:00.000-07:00I love autumn, although we don't have four seasons...I love autumn, although we don't have four seasons over here! :(<BR/><BR/>It's interesting to dream of something you read, isn't it?
