Last night I dreamed was in a Chineses restaurant and I had finished my meal and was still hungry. One of the people I was with whipped out two of these things that looked like steamers and set them on the table. Apparently, I've been watching too much early-morning television because she launched into a spiel that would make Ron Popeil proud. These things would whip up any meal in just five minutes. It had an inner bowl divided up into sections, and little flags in the middle to tell you what sections were done. Genius. So she stocked these with won-tons, chow-mein, rice, noodles... all the good stuff, and told me to wait five minutes.
Now here's the weird part. I fell asleep.
I woke up when the timer dinged, so I didn't miss my second helpings, but that's not the point. I actually dreamed about falling asleep.
I'm notorious, in real life, for my ability to fall asleep. It's not narcolepsy (had that checked out professionally), I just get bored or sleepy or both and have a cat nap. It's a little embarrassing in meetings (I once dozed off in front of my boss's boss). But this is the first time I've ever fallen asleep WHILE ALREADY ASLEEP.
Is it just me, or is that more weird than usual?

Thta must have been some really funky Chinese food to cause a dream like that, even if it was in your dream.

Yes. I don't think I'll patronize that restaurant again. As I remember, it was a little more upscale in decor than the buffet houses I usually frequent, but apparently the portions were very small.
Funny thing is, an hour after I woke up, I was sleepy again.
