“Glossary (page 144) lucid dream A dream in which the person is conscious of dreaming. Such awareness often brings with it a feeling of bliss and an ability to control the contents of the dream. non-lucid dream A normal dream. A dream in which the person is not aware of dreaming and the normal operations of waking consciousness are not present.”

“Glossary (page 145) sleep paralysis A natural and helpful condition during dreaming. Our body paralyses the muscles we use to move so that we don't physically carry out the actions from our dreams, which would result in injury. Some of our muscles, such as eye muscles, and those that regulate involuntary actions, such as our breathing, remain functional. See hypnopompic sleep paralysis for a special and frightening case.”

“Glossary (pages 145-146) sublucid dream Dreams in which a person's conscious mind is operating and trying to make sense of the dream, but does not realize that it is dreaming. This attempt to make sense of the dream can alter the content of the dream to meet the expectations of the dreamer. However, unlike with lucid dreams, the dreamer cannot deliberately control the contents of the dream. We are often sublucid when, in our dreams, our conscious mind intrudes to try to make sense of the inherent strangeness of the dream. We often experience confusion in such dreams.”

“Good Morning Sinkhole by Stewart Stafford Lucky birdshit on my window, A split-second awakening, Another landslide out of bed, Flailing in duvet quicksand. Clawing at the walls going down, Assume precarious crab-walk position, Straining every fibre to avoid collapsing, Land ho! with a fingertip mattress grab. Steadying myself, I drag my carcass up, Shaky leg muscles gain some relief, Retake Altar of Id with a drowning sweat, Survive to face more nightmare carpet rides. © 2025, Stewart Stafford.

“What the hell time is it?" muttered the old man. He was always an aggressive sleeper. Sleep was one of the things he did best, and he loved it. Some look upon sleep as an unfortunate necessary interruption of life; but there are others who hold that sleep is life, or at least one of the more fulfilling aspects of it, like eating or sex. Any time my old man's sleep was interrupted, he became truly dangerous.”
