I had a very, very weird dream last night. It was also extremely enjoyable though.
I was going to party with some friends that I hadn't partied with before at their place. The walls were bare, bright, and white, with light colored carpet like many student apartments. Everything had a healthy glow of sunlight coming from a large window.
After two glasses of some clear mixed drink, it became very obvious to me that there was something other than alcohol in the drink. I was feeling profoundly uncoordinated, and I just wanted to lay on the floor and relax. Around me, everything had become much brighter and blurrier, as if my eyes were a camera severely overexposing each shot.
I was looking at the window out at the bright sunlight, and a smiling face came in to view out of the pure whiteness with a glare all around her face from the window behind her. I was laughing and totally out of it, and I felt like I should kiss her just because. Getting off the ground turned out to be difficult so I just tugged at her so that she would come lay on the floor too.
Opening and closing my eyes didn't seem to make a difference in the least. My vision was slow, and the afterimages stayed so long that I had almost no idea what was going on in the present. I thought that when I closed my eyes, time was probably passing but I couldn't be sure. I told the girl I wanted to give her a kiss, so she kissed me twice cautiously and quickly on the lips. She paused a second and looked at me in the eyes, and then kissed me again, this time longer and with a tongue poking at my lips. Try as I might, I was really not able to focus on what was happening, and I couldn't even figure out if my mouth was open or closed, but I didn't really care because I was feeling great becoming lost in my senses in my own bright and confusing world.
A while later I rolled over and sat up. I was a little bit more balanced and clear, but I held on to the feeling from before. I decided I should give the girl a kiss, but I probably just ended up falling on her for support instead because as I was leaning closer to her, I began to lose my sense of time and place. I opened and closed my eyes but I saw nothing but a bright glow with vague tan blurs that must have been people. I felt like I was slowly tipping over in one direction, but I never ran in to anything and just kept drifting.
Eventually I sobered up and I could once again recognize the people and objects around me, and I woke up.

what an interesting sensation to have while dreaming. it reminds me of one of my favorite feelings while laying down to sleep, when you just begin to fall asleep you feel as if you are spinning round and round. pretty enjoyable, but often too short lived.
ReplyDeleteIt felt like I was falling in love and having a great day. I had that kind of giddy grin that you just can't get rid of. I wish I could have more dreams like that haha.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel anything before I fall asleep. I know some people feel like they are falling or spinning before they do though.
I've tried to stay conscious enough to witness myself falling asleep but it's really hard. Once or twice I've felt like I was getting bored and hallucinating and I concluded it was a dream and then my conscious control faded as the dream started.
Usually I just lay still until I fall asleep though, with no warning or memory of when it happens.
