I just had my first dream during a mini-nap!  Woohoo!  Well, it’s the first memorable dream anyway.  And I popped out of bed in such excitement at my first dream. Here’s how it went:

I was on the computer and this guy was chatting with me on messenger.  He asked me if I would like to come visit him because he knew I’d been waiting.  So then I had to try and figure out who this person was, so I scrolled through the message history to find some clues.  When I thought I had a reasonable idea, I said OK, and then he gave me his address.  It was in Orlando, FL.  I said, oh great, that’s never gonna work.  So then Mitsy (our cat) stuck her butt in my face, and Milo (our other cat) sat on my hand as I was trying to use the mouse.  After that, my dad announced that he’d be going to Orlando and spending more time there than in New Orleans.  He said he would like to visit with as many people as possible for his brief visits to New Orleans but that I was under no obligation to be available.

Some people on the Yahoo group seem to think that if I mess with my schedule it will have disastrous consequences.  One guy in particular who has been successfully polyphasic for 8 months said it screwed him big time in the beginning; he cited a particular example of a time when he tried to take a nap an hour or so off because he felt like it.  So I decided to try and make this nap as close to the exact time I would have napped anyway, and it was just about 10 minutes later.  Even so, I don’t think it would be worth it to nap when I’m not feeling tired because then I’d just lie there, and then the unrestful nap would contribute to oversleeps later on.
