When I'm in that state, I don't remember old dreams, I create new ones that blend in with what's happening around me. Like I see that I'm talking to a frog, but the frog is saying everything on the TV that's still playing.
If the frog starts singing the Ozempic song, do you punch it across the room?
No. You lick those. Makes for some wild dreams!
There's an Ozempic song?!
I get that too right before I fall asleep! At least when I'm sleeping in public. My brain distorts and abstracts what's going on around me into a weird half dream. Then I fall asleep.
Woah, that sounds wild. My dreams aren't that trippy
I don't get to read much anymore, but I used to be reading books at basically all times. Many times I've fallen asleep, book in hand, and continued reading a book that - it would turn out - had nothing to do with the book I was holding.
Sometimes, I wouldn't even have to turn the pages. Instead, I would just continue reading the other side of the page in front of me.
On occasion the story was much more interesting than the one the book actually presented.
Too bad you can't sleep write and publish that shit!
Seriously!
