kuleilani when i try to sleep at night and i am about to fall asleep i feel a pressure on my chest and it feels like i'm sinking into my bed. it's just my breathing and my heart rate slowing down as i slip out of consciousness but it feels like i'm dying. i'm pretty sure that's what dying would feel like. 010823

Jenna I'm an insomniac, but I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of getting old.

Huge chunks of your life go missing when you sleep. Sleep and waste you youth away.

(I don't *want* to stay up all night but somehow it just happens...)

ever dumbening this string has something to do with tibetan buddhism and lucid dreaming. strong attractor, this idea.

i touched the end of this string many years ago, and decided just now to see where it leads.

i'll let you know what happens, or die trying.

to sleep, perchance to dream.

Syrope so weird that this was on the recent list today, because last night a friend and i were discussing how we slept. if i go to sleep with it dark and silent i always sleep at least 12 hours...its like i die for a while because it's so impossible to wake me up. However, usually I sleep with a radio or the TV on, and it's never completely silent in my house anyway... 020228
