Sicksomnia

So I have been going through some weird sleep patterns since I've been on leave from work.  But tonight is different.  I started coming down with some sort of virus 2 nights ago, and my sleep is really weird now.  For example, it's going on 3 am, and I'm wide awake & doing laundry, dishes, and making coffee.  I think it's a combination of the bug, the cold medicine (yummy green Nyquil), and my not really needing to keep to a schedule right now.  I have been taking Nyquil during the day as well as at night, so I slept a good bit today & woke up with some very strange notions of... of.... like.... I don't really know how to say it.  That I could sort of float through the air.  Defy gravity if you will.  It was a dreamlike state, but I was lucid & even telling Paul about it when I went downstairs for dinner.  I think he was scared.  I wasn't making any sense, but it made perfect sense in my head that I was able to jump straight up in the air & sort of float around & hover for awhile before coming down.  It was a great secret talent that I was very proud of in my dream/ altered state.  He muttered something about having me committed.  Let me see if I can explain better.  You know how sometimes you're dozing off, and you sort of start dreaming before you're fully asleep?  Sometimes that happens to me, and I wake up & think the dream is real for a split second.  Then I somehow do a reality check.  I think to myself, "Wait, is what I was just experiencing really plausible?  Was I just riding on the nose of a dolphin?  That's silly.  Of course not.  I was dozing off & dreaming.  Now go back to sleep."  Well, that reality check wasn't fully working today.  When I asked myself, "Wait, can I REALLY defy gravity?" the answer was, "Maybe!!  Wow, that is SO COOL!!"  HOW much Nyquil did I take????
