I had a dream once.

I dreamt that I broke my thumb and then I woke up and my thumb hurt. Turns out I slept on my thumb and it wasn't broken at all but it hurt because I was laying on it in a funny position.

thx

I used to find that if I slept face down, then the curvature of my spine in this position gave rise to cramping in my back -- so my dreams would stray into nightmare territory. They would be nightmares in which I was being beaten up, punched or kicked in the back to the point of excruciating agony, at which point I would wake up.

So I don't sleep like that anymore! Even though it's pretty comfortable to start out with.

Yeah... Once I slept face-up on my back, kind of like a mummy, i guess. Because of my neck problem, it really feels comfy, but i'm unable to actually fall asleep, so i'm forced to sleep in a permanently uncomfortable position.

I hate how sometimes when you are half asleep you get this spastic muscle contraction and you are awake again.

Some people also get them in their sleep and don't wake up but it's still freaky to be next to someone that has a sudden spasm.

Are you talking about when you're awaken by a horrible muscle pain (usually in my left leg for me) that feels as if you're being stabbed by a knife over and over again for two intense minutes where you feel like crying because it hurts so much?

No, I'm talking about when you dream that you trip over a curb or something and you shock awake.

That's a cramp. You need to relax the muscle as best you can and stay calm. If you freak out and tense your muscles it will hurt more and go on longer.

Yeah that's what i've been told to. And it's hard, the pain is so intense you just feel like screaming at the top of your lungs, but instead i gently wrap my leg with both hands (apparently warmth helps relax the muscles) and wait it out, then I don't move the leg until I wake up the next morning.

I usually try to ignore the pain and massage the leg. I've heard from a very reliable source that if you get a really bad cramp in the muscle in the back of the calf, the best idea is to lift the front end of the foot using the ankle muscles. I've tried it, and it works perfectly.

i always kept sleeping with my arm under SLURPEECLOCK pillow with my head on top, when I wake up it gets all numb and it acts like a lifeless weight for a couple of minutes

Yeah I hate that. It's the only position that I feel comfortable in, but I never sleep like that anymore because I hate waking up with dead arm in the middle of the night.

Yea so I was just at the gym playing racquetball, and usually i'm the best since I've been playing the longest. But my finger totally hurt today and I lost to both guys I was with like 3 times. But then I triumphed over adversary and I beat them each despite the bum finger. They should make a movie about me.

That's actually your brain trying to shock your body up because it thinks your dying.
