Paralysis

thu January 5th 2012 23:00 - 9:00 Drank some coffee before bed, tried sleep paralysis. Did not work - at all. Seems like I just cannot fall asleep on my back, so my efforts might be fruitless forever. Did some relaxation and "I will wake up and remember"-mantra. The whole dream felt like it was from the series "Breaking Bad" (which I adore, by the way). The strangest part was that I could not make up what part I played, like I was seeing the dream from different angles. We are standing at the laundry-factory: me(?), a girl, another younger boy/girl(?) and some other guy. The girls are sitting in a box of pillows, watching TV. I am leaning over the edge, talking with them, occasionaly glancing at the TV. This other dude shows up and starts messing around with the older girl. The younger one does not seem to notice, she is more interested in the TV. I am just standing there, pretty uncomfortable. Then I see <PERSON> pulling up and he gets blocked by another car, they are juking back and forth trying to pass eachother. Someone comes along on a scooter that - next time I see this, it better be my RC - has a front wheel that looks like a rabbit-backpack. The older girl expresses her wish to have one of those. Somehow she gets it and I am thinking: "It will probably get stolen near that lousy appartment she lives at." I woke up 6:45, but did not remember to lay still and reconstruct my dream better. So I tried to stay up for a while, listened to some music, read in <PERSON>'s book, did a little crossword puzzle (seems I suck at those). Did not fall asleep fast, but faster than the first time. No dream recall of this second period though.
