a few nights ago..

Alexyana — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 00:14:15 GMT

I was reading up on some Dharma..and I got sleepy.. so I figured i would meditate over what i was reading..

and I fell as sleep and I remember meditating while still sleeping.. like conscious within the dream state or something.. it felt as if I was hoving to becoming awake and then i would go back to some deeper sleep state..

The subject was about Lamrim.. that we are fortunate to be where we are .. having leisure and being healthy humans with the ability to empathize and such.. and how Buddhist believe that we choose our own parents..

and I thought how sublime it is for my baby twins to have choosen me and Keina ot be their parents..

I was elated coming out of that sleep... moments like these are infrequent in my life.. very precious that, now, few days later.. I'm trying to recreate from memory because it was so nice..

.. I don't know if i could have been at that state if i was not sleeping.. so I feel special gratitude to have nice sleep experience..

how do you sleep?

Alexyana — Fri, 23 May 2008 01:26:08 GMT

I often sleep with my stomach to the bed or couch...rarely on the side or back.

I also like to scrape my hands on my thighs to feel some pressure, or on my beloved.. but that's just for a while..

I often go to sleep in less than 5 minutes.. or so I am told.

but I often wake up in the middle of the night to manipulate the manipulations long enough that i can fall back to sleep again..that's the only time i flip on my back.

the best part? early morning upon realizing I still have at least an hour more before i have to get up...

I love sleeping

I am not as into sleeping as I was

aschleigh — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 02:19:31 GMT

I fell in love a while ago and now I want to be awake and with my loved. I do love going to bed with him and waking up in the middle of the night and he's there sleeping. He's so beautiful when he sleeps. And then I want to wake him up to play.

body has tender spots

sacredgoddess — Tue, 25 Apr 2006 04:02:34 GMT

my husband likes sleeping on a board and I actually like it sometimes...however our super duper, super hard, hardest on the market, filled with more springs than any mattress sometimes is hard when my boney areas feel tender...
so I bought a fiberfill queensize feather bed, covered it with a duvet and folded it in half. It is just the right size for my side of the king.
I notice as soon as I got on, that my joints all relaxed, and I look forward tonight to bed instead of dreading it. I even told my husband I was going to start to sleep on guest bed (which is a pillowtop)..
this new addition should suffice, then maybe when I am in the mood for a board, I will remove the feather bed..
anyone else here have this experience with changing sleep patterns because of joint or tenderness spots?

Lucid Dreaming? Can you do it?

aschleigh — Tue, 16 Aug 2005 00:48:16 GMT

I can get out of a bad situation in my dreams by telling myself I am only dreaming, I must leave this place.
And once in my dream I was looking for my mom in my old apartment, and I remember thinking, I won't be able to find my real mom here because I am dreaming and I should wake up and just call her.

Power Sleep.

elliot — Thu, 18 Aug 2005 04:00:52 GMT

Not to nerd this mother out, but I recently read this book called Power Sleep. It was pretty interesting: basically the root of all many performance and mood problems is lack of sleep. The author (a university professor and sleep researcher) goes over a bunch of data involving sleep debt, including symptoms (ever get that itchy feeling in your legs as you lay there, trying to get some shut-eye? Sleep debt!) and effects (lost work time, traffic accidents, social impact, etc.).

It's a quick read (light paperback) and it's one of those structurally-written books that explains things plain and simple.

I can't say that I'm sleeping much more than I did before, but I have a much better understanding of the costs and benefits.

Laying around

gattomatto — Tue, 16 Aug 2005 02:17:51 GMT

I've been sleeping a lot the past few days. Loads. I changed my tribe name to gatto stanco to reflect that. It means "tired cat" but I prefer the translation sleepycat. I have 3 beds and a couch in my place and I've been hopping around between them just laying, meditating, listening to soothing music and tapes by krishna das, napping and dreaming. It's been goooooood. I highly recommend this kind of behavior every now and then.
