Vivid Dreams

My dreams have been so freaking weird for the past 2 nights. I haven't changed anything in my diet and I'm not taking any new medications... Two nights ago I got *extremely* tired and fell asleep hard. Suddenly I had this really strange vivid dream that disturbed me so much I woke up. I wish I could remember it... I fell asleep again... and then once again I had another insane dream that woke me up.. this happened another 4 or 5 times.. and when I looked at the clock, I realized only 30 minutes has passed by since I originally went to bed. All of this happened in 30 minutes? How? I don't normally fall asleep so fast let alone start dreaming. So finally I fell asleep and stayed asleep for at least 4 hours... during that time I had very very vivid dreams, colorful, and realistic and when I woke up I almost felt drugged and still groggy. I didn't even take a Benadryl that night.

Then, last night I again had more realistic dreams that kept waking me up. It's almost as though my body is trying to subconsciously tell me something. Maybe I'm not laying down properly, or cutting off some kind of blood circulation somewhere.. who knows. The only thing I can think of is that my left eye was hurting the other day.. so bad that I had to take out my contact. It doesn't look red, it doesn't look infected, injured, or any different than my other eye... it just hurts for some reason and feels a little raw. Maybe *that's* why I'm having weird dreams.

The only other time I've ever had strangely vivid dreams was when I tried taking Kava Kava... I swear everytime I took one my dreams would be very rich in color and complexity... hmm... if only it were easier to figure out this time.
