Woah...no not really.

Usually, when my sleep schedule gets out of whack, I start dragging my words, as if I've had a few beers.

I have some dreams that feel like RL though...those can freak you out.

And a rare few are too nice to end...yet they do...:sad:

Ah yes, usually due to alarm clocks, my mortal enemies.
And the chickens. Those damn chickens.

I have the most reliable alarm clock: my mom. :)

I'm such a heavy sleeper that I probably wouldn't even hear the alarm clock.

I remember those days in highschool. How I resented being awoken by my parents. They start off with an overly cheery voice and then open the door. Then I got to dread the impending pounce my dog would rain down upon my bed, as I heard her running up the stairs.

I usually wake up half an hour or so before my alarm clock rings. It's a reflex.

I used to do that; drove me nuts. I'd stare at my alarm with odium and tried to crush it with my mind. Sadly, I do not have telekinetic powers. Haven't done it since my classes started being in the afternoon though.

@Omega: My dog does the same thing too...ruins such a perfect rest. :D

I wish I had telekinetic powers...:sad:

I wake up like that because a long time ago my alarm clock made the most awful sound: it was so loud and screechy it could wake up the dead (and give the living a heart-attack). So I used to wake up earlier to stop it.

That's not fun at all...

I don't even want to imagine that alarm clock. :)

During finals I have 2 or 3 going, just in case. That's absolute Hell.

:scared:

You could always drink a TON of water the night before so your bladder acts like an alarm clock. :)

It does work...for some disturbing reason. Only done it about twice though...having to get up to go the bathroom is kind of irritating.

Usually before finals I have to take sleeping pills to get some sleep. Way too much stress.

Yeah...It's been a year or two since my dreams have come to be more alive and I have senses as touch and heat-sensing. Just yesterday I saw that I met a person I know from online but did not know how he looks like. He was with some friends and we went to a bar to hang out for a while and at some time I thought 'How? I thought I didn't know the guy.' But it didn't feel like a dream so I believed it was real. And that wouldn't be the first time, takes a while to understand if some things happened or not when I wake up. Confusing :-D

Yeah, it leads to a lot of eerie feelings of deja vu'.

Technically that's not so hard to understand;

You repeat your whole day in your dreams, so you get to see things you've done before ala deja vu.

I seem to be unable to remember my dreams; except for some dreams, and nightmares where I scare out of...
Grah!

Not really, I have a rather good memory and many of the places I see(forget faces I may have seen some in passers by) I never knew. Maybe it's just a randomly generated image or a figment of my imagination. That said I haven't had a deja vu feeling about a specific place just the feeling that I've lived this moment and done that action etc.

I don't think it's exactly like that. For example, several times I've dreamed of things I did days or weeks ago and not necessarily about that day.

I usually dream about things I'll do during the next day, and most things happen really alike - in despise of some weird creatures popping suddenly in the dreams or nude chicks that are unlikely to pop at the corner or the street. :D But I daydream about things I've done days ago, and how those could be different or help me at the right time - most often when I'm walking about the city, in a bus or eating.
