    So I woke up this morning feeling depressed and my neck pain wasn't great either, about 30 mins later I just say "**** it" and go back to sleep beginning my plans to feel sorry for myself for 2 hours and proceed to have a ****ty day of depression and neck pain.

    I slept about an hour, but had like 4-5 really vivid dreams that I was definitely aware I was dreaming in. Not bad dreams, but like just "oh hey, I'm in a dream, what are some ways I can actually get out of this dream?". Like I wanted to try to wake myself up, but I wanted to see what kind of cool adventures I would go on too...so I didn't want to in a sense.

    Long story short (by this point, almost assuredly you all think I'm on drugs, lol).... I woke up and felt a lot better about things.

    I'll list my drug list if you want, but it's all legal :p. Can someone explain to me what the hell just happened though?

    You realized that you do, in fact, prefer more cushion for the pushin', and now you're in love after 2 dates.

    lol we already ended it. Truth be told I do, but there's a limit to the cushion.

    maybe your larger friend was riding you while you were passed out and you thought it was all a dream...or you had some of these before you took your nap?

    You weren't actually depressed but were just having a down day and the cause was a need for sleep?

    Check out this blog:

    He experiments with different stuff like sleep and food to see how it affects mood (among other things). One of the things he believes in is that if you see faces in the morning, your mood will improve.

    I can't explain what happened to you. Did you do anything different yesterday? Wake up early, get more light, see faces early, etc.?

    No kidding. I don't know what did it either. Actually, I have a theory... but I don't know how legit it is.

    I've switched from Oleptro 150 mg to Remeron 30 mg just last night, and Cymbalta in the mornings. These dreams were after I got up at 9:30 and went back to bed like 40 mins later. So I don't know how to account for this lucid dreaming or reproducing it.

    Oh no, I was definitely depressed but this was just this morning all of this occurred. I did have a good night yesterday (hooters + strip club) though. I did pop my neck too much though and that's been a big struggle with neck pain. So what I'm trying to say is each day I wake-up with neck pain and depression. It's fantastic. I figured the next morning (this morning) was going to be better but I woke up instead to another day of "here we go again, I hate this ****ing neck pain and I'm depressed... I'm going to have a ****ty day". So I thought, I'm going back to bed and throwing a pity party for at least 2 hours... not even 30-40 mins after I originally woke up. Even made coffee... didn't even touch the stuff. Slept for like an hour and 1/2 and woke up oddly refreshed.


    I will man, thanks for the link. No nothing like those things really. I can't explain it either. My reply to Finalsbound above might have a little to do with it. As I type right now, I'm having slight Oleptro withdrawals and so maybe that influenced things. As in like my vision internally keeps like vibrating, lol.

    Sounds pretty simple, your dreams were pleasant enough to change your mood.

    I have lucid dreams regularly. And honestly, once I realize it's lucid, I just start having sex with everyone. It's pretty cool how willing they all are.

    I like them to scream and resist with their husbands tied up watching. Rape dreams are empowering for the soul as long as you're the rapist.

    If a boner means you're happy.

    Count me in for waking up happy all the time.
