Lucid waking

in #life6 years ago

I foolishly stayed up until 3AM.

I was chatting with my sweetheart and reading the introduction chapter to Alan Watts’, The Wisdom of Insecurity. What I should’ve done was turn in early. @guthrie woke up around 4AM, calling out to us twice before falling asleep to his bedtime playlist. While the boys have returned to dreamland I’m stuck in the torturous place in between. My body is clearly begging for rest but my mind continues to buzz. So here I am.

This morning I’m sharing another image from my set from two days go. Can you see why I decided to post this one on it’s own? It definitely has a different mood from the first. This was where I captured the most light out of all the other photographs before it vanished completely. Yesterday, while planning for another shoot, it slipped my mind to check the weather forecast. Of course I confirmed the time for sunset but I overlooked the fact that it would remain cloudy all evening. I was already committed to the idea of shootings so I made it work.

If you squint your eyes while staring at this image then it almost looks like I’m gathering a bunch of energy into my body so that I can unleash it or maybe I’m just feeling extra sparkly. Excuse my nerd thoughts, I watch too much anime.

My only options now is to attempt to sleep for the third time or quietly make my way downstairs to prep for the start morning. I’m gonna try to sleep...


Did you enjoy my ramblings? Thanks for stopping by.🦊💤

I feel ya. It's been that way lately for some reason. I decided to start prep for the day, good luck catching some zzz's.

Bummer. Hope you’re able to get back to a good sleep schedule too. I rolled around in bed until I gave up. Just finished making breakfast and packing the kids lunch. Now I’m gonna sleep peacefully since I know he’s in school and won’t wake me up. 😌

I can't seem to sleep at those hours. I might pass out during the day, but at 3 AM I am wide awake! It doesn't matter if I go to sleep early, I wake up at 2 or 3 AM and don't go to sleep until daybreak.

Yeah, your internal clock seems like it’s set! Do you ever feel like your missing out on things that happen in the daytime?

It's too early to wake up! hhheehhe
That happens to me, I want to sleep and not be able to do it, many times I go late at night or almost dawn doing drawing but when I want to sleep and I can not do it, it makes me very bad, but when the dream is interrupted!
I hope you can sleep better!
Oh! The time was not right?
but those pictures are perfect, hehehh we are 2 nerd heheheh, it looks incredible as the light that reflects in you gives a great effect, you really know what you want and the best thing is that you get it done.
It is perfect!

I honestly can’t think of a better way to enjoy your time than to spend it drawing till sunrise. We are a both big nerds. Getting back to a ‘normal’ sleep schedule just seems impossible.

If you're right! heheheh
