Last night, between the hours of 1:15 and 2:30 a.m., I kept falling partly to sleep, then thinking some thought about my statement of purpose (that I had been working on before bed) or my research that I came into my office and wrote on a piece of paper. I filled up one side of the page and about a quarter of the other. Shockingly, when I looked over these notes this morning, they were actually good ideas. I'm not sure that it was completely unprecedented in my experience, but it was odd.

Man, I love the picture, which let me guess enough to look up the title.
In the middle of last night I woke up realizing that ALL of my dreams lately have followed some particular pattern. I thought that was really weird. And I was certain it wasn't one of those things I have talked about where I wake up with a false belief or memory, because it was really true - they do all follow that pattern. And then my certainty faded and I realized that possibly it wasn't true at all. And now I'm pretty sure it isn't true since I can't even remember what the pattern was (I have only a vague memory of sitting around in a circle and having either cards or test tubes in my hand, perhaps with some implications about status).
The cards/test tubes thing makes me think of a fever dream/hallucination in which I know that if only I arrange things in the right way, I will get better.
