My version of counting sheep is to imagine myself on a deserted island and I have to figure out all the things I will need to do to survive long term and determine whether or not I am capable or believe myself capable of doing them. The tv LOST has been infinitely helpful in that, but has also made the process less effective as a means of actually achieving sleep.

Thats a bit pants. I don't have trouble getting to sleep, but when I am stressed or under pressure I get recurring dreams where I am stuck in a corridor that has a black and white tiled floor. There are loads of doors and behind each one is a band or artist that I either adore or despise.

Its like having my own surreal game show.

Although I have no spooky comments to add... yet...

thanks anonymous, it’s still quite spooky. The wierdest thing was I once lived at 58 Argyle Rd in Exeter and then moved to Harare in Zimbabwe – where my brother’s friend lived: at 58 Argyle Rd!!

Ever since i can remember i often have before i go to sleep ,the shape of diamont like figure in front of me.Also with my eyes open.
It looks a bit like a fragment of an old “glass in lead” window.
Anyway it pops up whenever it likes and when I focus on it , it starts trembling really fast and then it becomes any shape i like also really fast..except its original shape.I have to shift my attention completely to get the first shape back.

Well, Dave, what a coincidence. 5 years ago I, too, actually lived in a house number 113 here in Cologne, GER.

Okay, I have to admit this is not very special at all, and perhaps a bored mathematics guy could put up some astonishing numbers to show how BIG a chance this is.

Anyway, just wanted to contribute...

Hi Craig, please see my comment for yesterday’s 9 and how it sort of conveniently links into this…

This is kind of weird – for a long time when I was a kid, the number 113 kept cropping up. I had one of those model Tamiya kits of an M113 personnel carrier (the type they used in Vietnam), and all of a sudden I kept seeing that number everywhere – friends lived at that number in their street, I’d get stuck on that page in a book, etc.
Erm, The End.

I try counting sheep when I can’t sleep but they always end up doing their own thing and not falling in to line for me to count in an orderly fashion. Damn my sub-conscious!

blimey, that sounds irritating. can you turn it into a positive thing? like your village building. if you maybe welcome the 300,000 dalmatian-riding monkeys into your head, and get them to perform for you, they might help you drift off… maybe.
