Morning Dreams Are Making Me Want to Sleep.

So this morning, I decided to go to bed early (around 3 AM) and I set my alarm for about 9, which is much earlier than I normally wake up.
Well, when the alarm woke me up, I had the natural reaction of hitting the worst invention in the world: the snooze button.

Now normally I never remember the dreams I have, unless they are during times when I'm not suppose to be asleep, such as naps during the day, or right after being woken up from a long sleep and allowing myself to drift into it again.


And every time this happens I realize that I'm in the dreams and have some what control over my actions and the dreams.

Anyways, I feel asleep after hitting the snooze button and I started dreaming, very vividly. And at first the alarm would awake me and cause me to hit snooze again, and I would drift back into the same dream, but eventually my dreams and reality intertwined and the alarm noise entered my dream world and created a rhythmic background music and dreamt and dreamt and I had several different dreams and several dreams that repeated or were expansions of dreams from earlier and I can remember at least 4 or so dreams, that felt as long as days and some that went from day to day, and it was like each separate dream was a day, and everything was so vivid and real and they weren't really that extreme, they felt very true and lucid.
And then I opened my eyes and noticed that it was 3 in the afternoon and I had been sleeping for 12 hours, and my alarm had been snoozed for half of that time.

And now at such an early hour (1 am) I am EXHAUSTED and have been for nearly the whole day.
Was I really sleeping/dreaming the whole time after the alarm originally went off?
Should dreaming and sleeping really be considered the same thing?
Because, through my experiences, I've come to realize that dreaming is very tiring.
It's interesting, because my whole body is tired.
But in dreaming, shouldn't it just be your mind? And maybe your eyes because of REM.

Do the muscles in our bodies respond to the way they move in our dreams?
Could a person work out and dream and magically have stronger muscles?

For some reason, it doesn't seem that illogical that our brains could be wired so complicatedly.


Dreams are very underrated.

We need to figure this shit out.

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland is the best story ever because it inspires my brain.
