Day 5 - Dreams!

I'm goin to skip to the good stuff so I'll hurry up and say 12:40am was a normal nap.

At 4:40am i had my first dream! It actually wasn't the best dream.. I dreamt i was bein stunned by a stungun by some strange person in dark clothing and a mask that hid their face pretty well.. It was like I was aware I was dreaming so it could of been a lucid dream.. when I was in the dream I was shaking from being stunned and when I woke up I was still shaking.. was pretty weird.. when I opened my eyes it was 4:53am so I just went back to sleep and within those 7 minutes from the time I would have to wakeup I actually had another dream.. it was a dream about me in my room that I was just using my computer but I did notice some things were different from how they were when I woke up from the dream..

After my alarms went off and I was awake i did actually doze off for a small amount of time but I did have another dream.. so 3 dreams in one night.. im not sure if thats normal or not.. I know I rarely dreamt as a monophasic sleeper so getting these dreams as frequent as I'm getting them is a nice change.

Since I started this experiment I have been curious to what my eyes are doing while I'm sleeping, so I got my Kodak Zi8 and recorded the 8:40am nap.. when I was done I was happy to see that there actually is some side to side eye movement.. I'm not too sure if I would call it Rapid Eye Movement which is needed for the dream state because it was so slow.. I actually had to skim through the video to see if I my eyes were actually moving.. so they were moving slow but still pretty interesting to see..

Nothing to really say about the 12:40am nap.. was pretty normal.. on time to take my nap and woke up on time.. I did notice I was very tired after this nap though.. hopefully my sleeping schedule is getting back on track from when I overslept the other day..still bothers me I could be 2-3 days closer to being fully adjusted to this schedule.. its actually hard for me to stay awake while I wait for this 4:40pm nap.. eyes are getting a little heavy..

Yea im startin to doze off while typin this.. so I'm goin to go oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo



^^^ see those oooooooo's above? thats me falling asleep while tryin to type im goin to go b4 i fall asleep.
I'll come back and post how the nap went..

4:40pm nap
Just had my nap and it seemed I had 2 more dreams! wish I would of been recordin so I could see if my eyes were moving faster.. I'll get it eventually
