Earlier today, I posted something on my Facebook-Wall, said Post basically sums up how I feel sometimes when it comes to sleeping after long working hours, however, it's nothing I wrote, so I figured, I should write about my experience myself.
For everyone who wants to read the Post, go here.
I had such an experience just last night, its however nothing new to me. Basically It's dreaming of your daily routine, work, eat, sleep, play and so on. There are mild cases and extreme cases, and when I'm under a load of stress at work, say for instance we are chasing deadlines, they go extreme.
But first let's start with mild cases and the less "unpleasant" ones. Gaming or TV shows. When A new game comes out and I'm really into it, say for instance "Uncharted 1, 2, 3" I do play them five hours on end! The result, is me dreaming about either being in the game or me playing the game or me developing a game. Pretty much the same with TV Shows it amplifies when I'm really tired too.
The MORE unpleasant case, is when deadlines need to be met on Projects at work and for some reason concepts get swung around after working on these things for a very VERY long time. That's the time when I start dreaming of working while sleeping .. and basically waking up in the middle of the night, wondering, why I was just working on a flag animation... or a Car Wire-frame while all I was really doing, was lying in bed next to my wife snoozing the night away.
One such case visited me last night, when my son was constantly blabbering half asleep how he wouldn't want me or his mommy to annoy him, while we were actually around 3 meters away from him, I kept on waking up ... and while I was half asleep I'd see wire frames of cars and flags floating in front of me, and as I fall back to sleep... I keep working on them... in the weirdest ways. This cycle would repeat until 7am when my alarm rang .. meanwhile I realize that my son was already jumping around on my chest... Though I'm used to this whole thing, last night was special .. as I seemed to have 2 dreams happening at the same time.
Just before I went to sleep I watched an episode of myth busters, something I should have not done, as my dreams have separated themselves into 2 independent dreams which kind of mixed within my brain .. I know it sounds messed up almost "Inceptionish" but its fairly simple... basically my dream was about the topic: "is it's possible to have a car Wire-frame spread and repeat itself 500 times or something. Let's bust that myth" Wait what? Why!!?? I think you understand when I say "this confused the heck out of me!"
I have not really spent enough time on getting this under control or making this controllable during the night, I would "initiate" much more elaborate dreams, like driving a Lamborghini on a straight highway 500 kmph... or flying a jet fighter .. or just sleeping and resting.
So until I do, I'll just go and play Deus Ex in a 360 Degree room in 3D .. for 24 Straight hours .. let's see what my next dream will be about.
Until next time, Game On!
