Can’t wait until spring forward. Despite having blackout curtains the sun wakes me up too early on sunny days and I can’t get back to sleep. This morning I was awake much too early. Was up for about an hour and a half then went back to bed was able to do some lucid dreaming. Had a really cool dream of looking for a mall downtown St Paul. But instead there was a tween dance club at the mall entrance and no door to the mall. So I dreamed it was only midafternoon and there weren’t a lot of kids yet and decided to try the emptier side of the club to see if there was an entrance to the mall in back. I was stopped by two very young police officers in swat outfits with machine guns. We talked and they convinced me I was hallucinating the mall and I had dementia cause I was so old. I turned around and walked outside where I wondered aimlessly. Then I realized the youth were pulling one over on me and turned back around but before I could find out what happened next I woke up. It was only a half hour later but the dream seamed so much longer. I felt rested and was able to do what I had planed, laundry! And watching a movie with friends. Now it’s 9 pm and I’m wide awake
