so i woke up at 6:30 today (with my alarm set for 10) i think as a result of wearing the nicotine patch to bed... anyway another side effect is having weird dreams. so for 2 hours i dreamed i was falling asleep, or at least trying to, and my heart was pounding really bad so i was trying to get up to get my heart medicine, but i couldn't move (cause i was asleep) and i dreamed i was trying to wake myself up by slapping myself in the face, only i couldn't feel it, and that's when i knew i was in a dream. then this ghost waitress starts coming across the room to me in clips like in scary movies whispering "i'm coming..." and i knew i was dreaming so i tried to wrench myself awake and it finally worked just before she got to me.
i woke up with a fairly normal heartbeat and grinding my teeth.
