Waking up asleep

I've been waking up asleep (or sleepy, rather) quite a bit recently. Not fun! Do you ever have random epiphanies in the middle of the night? I do some of my best thinking when I'm sleeping, in fact most of my concepts for photo shoots come to me at the most odd hours of the night. I always keep a journal and pen next to my bed to write my ideas down as soon as they come to me (and before I forget them) :)

Oddly enough, I hardly ever remember my dreams. I guess they must be good ones if they give me my concepts for photo shoots! Someone once told me if you tell yourself, 'I will remember my dreams' right before you go to bed, you will remember your dreams! Crazy, huh? I've never tried it because I always seem to forget.

I woke up asleep today and it ruined most of my morning and afternoon. That's what I get for going to bed at 2am I guess...

I've been meaning to place a journal next to my bed...I really just need to do it. Good thinking seems to always happen when the mind is at ease.

Your blog is very inspirational. I love the beauty you find in the world.
And its true, when you tell yourself to remember your dreams its like you wake up in a whole new world, but your actually asleep.

I never remember my dreams either, but I'm going to try what you said. I've heard it before, but never thought much of it. Now reading the comments, I guess it works!

i can't recall any midnight epiphanies (at least not recently!) but I did want to say that that is a really beautiful sketch.
