Stupid REM Moments

When I was working a graveyard shift my dreams became extremely weird, because I was sleeping during the day, instead of at night. I attribute it to my body trying to adjust to a wacky schedule.

During that period I got alot of those dreams in which I cannot tell if I am in a dream. I would lay down on the couch to rest before work and then (presumably) wake up and start going about my normal activities. Gradually things would warp and unusual things would start to happen and I would suddenly realize, I never woke up at all and so I would wake myself up from the dream...and it would happen all over again. This could happen 5 or 6 times in a row. That is the scariest kind of dream for me, because it blurs my sense of reality, even when I really do wake up.
