What do you think of as you drift off to sleep? Or as you daydream? Last night, I was planning to get all relaxed and cozy and fall immediately into a peaceful sleepy-sleep. Yeah, that didn't happen. I lay there for a while, listening to the ceiling fan. Then I started thinking about cool band names. Yes, this is how my mind works. Of all the things for me to think about...all the troubles, all the possibilities, all the future considerations...I think about what to name my fictional punk/pop/alt/indie/funk/rock band.
For instance....
Textured Ceiling
The Plaid Comforters
Hardwood Under Carpteting
Queen Size Love
Braless Slumber
The Wood Blinds
The Walkin Closets
The Smoky Pillow Project
Then, thankfully, I think I fell asleep. Drooly. Pillow. Absolutely no snoring. Because that is unladylike. No talking in my sleep.

I have two 'help me fall asleep dreams':
1. I'm sitting on a magic carpet that rises as I relax. We float over cities and countrysides. This is my favorite.
2. I'm like those criminals in Superman 2, floating through space. But I'm not trapped. Just moving quickly through galaxies and star clusters. Pretty cool.
I would like to be on a magic carpet ride now.
I think about all the things that are wrong with me as I try to fall asleep.
I think about everything when I am trying to fall asleep. Sophie. Money. The movie I just watched. Why I stayed up so late.Why are my legs so hot and my arms are so cold? Why does Tyler fall asleep immediately and I can't? Ridiculous things.
