SORRY FOR NOT DOING MORE INSIDE!!!!!! AAAAAH!!!!! BARBARA HAS EATEN MY SOUL!!!

Heh, it's true, the Vikings sleep in at least 69 positions.

Hi, rainbaby. Here's an article on insomnia drugs and sleeplessness.

It won't be much help for the batshit insanity, however (just kidding, the sleeping as different people bit is very amusing).

Who's sleeping for the children?

That's hilarious. I'm definitely sleeping as a member of the 1992 Denver Broncos tonight.

Brilliant idea, I don't know if it would work for me sleeping. But I could totally see myself, say, cooking a chicken as Marshall Tito or parallel parking as Samuel Beckett.

I think you're probably autistic.

But seriously, it sounds like a combination of post-mirror phase coping mechanism and proto-eroto-mrroboto-wish fulfillment fantasy.

I get the batshit dreams from an immunosuppressant I'm on, so I take Ambien. However, this past week my doc has been out of town and I ran out.

I've been sleeping as an Indian princess lately (combination of watching "Alladin" and "Kama Sutra"--Disney and, well, let's not put too fine a point on it...basically soft-core porn).

Most other nights I'm Sandra Bullock in Practical Magic--the scene where she's in her herb garden, because I want a garden like that and imagine myself in it.

One night I beat up my ex's new WIFE (he has now married the tart he cheated on me with, a mere 5 months post-divorce) in the aisles of a grocery store. Heheh. I won.

Harmless sleep-aid, rainbaby, is my vote.

If it works, then great. Still I think you should avoid sleeping as anyone you would like to sleep with. I mean what if the you sleeping as sleeps with you? You as, and you could get locked in some sort of loop and never wake up. Just a thought.

But what a delicious loop to be caught in. I can think of less pleasant ways to go mad.

Yeah, I'm sure it's just The Batshits. I think I'll just go with it.

Don't worry, rainbaby. Nobody here is guano judge you.

This is not a psychotic break. In a truely psychotic situation, you lose the ability to apply introspection to what's happening and just start going with the ride. Nothing to worry about. Sounds like a self-discovered form of guided visualization / conscious dreaming to me.

Stress / unhappiness / grief all cause physiological changes. It's very normal and everybody experiences this. Here're some tips. Actually all good advice for anytime, stressed or not.

Barbara Streissand in Yentel does not need groceries, and that's who I'm sleeping as tonight.

"Papa, can you hear me?"

its a psychotic break!

These findings support the hypothesis that REM sleep is a physiological brain state that produces a distinctive and psychosis-like mental content, whereas during normal waking such properties are suppressed. Put another way, when awake the brain is normally free of the formal aspects of dream activity. Conversely, normal dreaming is justifiably considered to be an entirely normal model of highly abnormal conditions of the human brain and mind. It is now clear that the kind of consciousness that a person experiences is a function of the state of the brain.
