Dreams and Sleep

For a very long time now, when I dream, I have bad dreams. Not necessarily “night terrors”, yet nothing nice ever happens when I dream.  Last night I had a dream where I kept on forgetting everything for this trip I am going on.  The actual contents of the dreams probably do matter, but I’m worried about having bad dreams ALL the time.

For the last few weeks I’ve been working at a new job, that is full time and also demanding and very competitive, therefore I get sleepy. I also have been sleeping very well, but because I have to get up so early that I am still extremely sleepy.  So for the past couple weeks I’ve constantly been tired, very, very tired, the only thing that really cures this is going to sleep at 8:30 pm, and that’s lame, I’m not 85 years old. This brings me to my next topic, these crazy dreams. 

My sleeping lately has been deep sleep, where I drift off to some far away land, that doesn’t involve dreams, which is usually great!  However, when I do dream I have nasty terrible scary abominations that are supposed to represent some deep dark part of my soul, I wake up early in the morning and am too afraid to go back to sleep.  Last night, I got tipsy and this nastiness occurred.   Why? who knows.  I get so tired three to four consecutive cups of coffee are needed to wake me up, which is nuts, but I don’t have much of a choice if I value my new job, it makes me seriously understand why people develop coke habits.
