Sleep 2

01:09 to 05:44

(4:35 hours)

Last night it took me a while to fall asleep, but I wasn't frustrated or bored. When I did fall asleep, I woke up pretty much every hour through the night. At 5:00am I thought about getting up, but then I fell asleep again for another 45 minutes and had a dream.

After that I got up, and still felt like I'd slept for too long.

Sleepover

Sleepover

I dreamt that my mum, Richard (my step-dad), Bob (my brother) and Steph (his girlfriend) were all staying over at our house. In my dream we had the same spare rooms as real life, one with a double bed and another with a single bed, but that we also had a second double bed in our bedroom. Mum and Richard went to bed ahead of us in the spare room with the double bed, and the rest of us were sleeping in our room.

As we were getting ready for bed I asked Yu Lee if she wanted to sleep in the other spare room with the single bed, so that we could have some more privacy and she sounded up for it, but then we got into our bed and when I asked her again she'd changed her mind.

We all laid in bed for a while and were whispering to each other. I was explaining to Bob how I'd slept loads the previous day and wasn't expecting to sleep much that night, and that I'd probably have to get up in a minute. I told him that the night before last I'd slept for 9 hours, then I slept for 2 hours in the day afterwards for my nap. Then last night I didn't sleep as much, and it took me a while to fall asleep, and then I woke up pretty much every hour because I wasn't that tired. This is exactly how the night has been for me today, and what I was telling Bob is how the past couple of days have been in real life.

All of a sudden Steph joined in the conversation, but instead of whispering she was shouting at the top of her lungs! We told her to whisper or at least talk quietly, but for the rest of the dream, every time she opened her mouth she would shout and we would tell her to be quiet.

Sleep 3

12:32 to 14:58

(2:26 hours)

I was pretty tired at nap time today, and fell asleep pretty quickly. I woke up from a dream after 1:45 hours, and was just about to get up, but then I obviously fell asleep again because the next thing I remember was waking up after even more time had passed.

This was a lovely nap, but I think I should have gotten up after my dream.

Losing my Back Teeth

I dreamt that I was trying to organise some kind of ceremony. I can't really remember all of the details, but for some reason Lucía (my Spanish next door neighbour from my old house) and Yu Lee's mum were going to be there, and I was trying to get them to meet each other.

There were a lot of things going on, but the whole time I was distracted by an odd feeling in my mouth, like some of my back teeth were too close together and pressing on each other, and I kept pressing on them with my tongue to try and relieve the pressure.

I was pressing my tongue against my tooth when all of a sudden the pressure disappeared completely. At first I was relieved, but then I realised that one of the teeth that was uncomfortable was now very wobbly, and then when I pressed it with my tongue it came completely loose and was just sitting in my mouth. I put my fingers in my mouth and grabbed it and pulled it out, and a perfect molar tooth complete with a very large root came out.

I was pretty horrified that my tooth had come out, but there was nothing that I could do about it so I carried on with the preparations. Then, a little while later I felt another one of my teeth go loose again. This time I was being very careful not to push it with my tongue, but eventually it fell out of the socket and was laying across the back of my mouth. Although the tooth was completely loose, I had a feeling that it was still attached by the nerve / blood vessel.

The panic from loosing another tooth woke me up.

Sleep 4

23:44 to 04:57

(5:13 hours)

Last night I dozed for the first hour, and then woke up around 3:30am to a beeping noise. I went back to sleep, and hear the beep again at about 4:30am, and then again at 5:00am. This time I realised it was the carbon monoxide detector outside my bedroom door, so I got up and realised that it was running out of batteries.

As I was up already I decided to stay up.
