[Morrigoon]

It's possible. It's also possible that I might have sleep apnea... I am a snorer, and my dad certainly has it (cpap machine and all).

My theory is that because I cut way back on my caffeine (no really, I did), and my body adjusted, now when I do have it, I have all this extra energy and my brain is just going into overdrive instead of shutting down.

But also, I'm often conscious within the context of the dream that I'm having a dream, but my mind has an ability to sit back and watch it like a movie, and even comment on it (such as the awareness that I was putting on too much makeup, and then the character of me reacting to that thought about it). I know, I'm a weirdo.
