We’re not talking double fisting here, I don’t have that kind of java problem. What I do have is an annoying fogginess after a bad night’s sleep.

The stress finally caught up to me and hijacked my dreams. I remember the one I woke from around 2am. I was in a forest trying desperately to survive. There were enormous tanks that took turns slowly driving through while I crouched under fallen trees. They were a menacing dark gray and looked suspiciously like a Tesla truck on steroids, which I’m sure is entirely a coincidence. Ahem.

Every dream after that one is a blur but I remember waking at 4am and again at 6am. Over the years I’ve learned to basically throw myself out of a dream, pushing to consciousness then stifling the fight or flight response with it’s just a dream, IT’S JUST A DREAM. So while I (usually) get through without jumping out of bed nights like these with marathon dream sequences result in piss poor sleep quality.

Which brings us back to the double helping of coffee. I’m sure my heart rate will love me for this one. Anyone else have some weird dreams these days?
