As for me, I actually have very deep thoughts.
Why do I exist? What do I gain of sleeping when I could be doing something productive? Have I done anything productive? I wonder if I can eat Chinese food today? Basically, these are a few thoughts I think. I mean, if I think.
My thoughts when I wake are as I said: deep.
Most of the time I just lay back and think of many events that have shaped my life. I think of what I've dong wrong in the past, things that I could've done right or even better--and what the outcome would of been if I would've chosen another action and or path.
When I wake up because of a dream I usually have a pattern.
When it's because of a nightmare:
Well, it's funny actually. Because whenever I have a nightmare I have a whole plan planned out. I stop in the midst of my dream, I usually tell the serial killer who is after me to give me a sec--then I hit my head against a wall and chant: "Gaby wake up ! WAKE UP GABY"
And so I wake up.
I cry and tremble because my nightmare is freakishly vivid. Pray a little so I don't continue the dream and then fall back asleep.
If it's a good dream I just doze off again in hopes that I can continue it.
I usually just smile the whole because I take good and romantic dreams as a sign that I should be positive that day because something good might happen.
I dunno. I'm just weird.
