   Fell asleep on the couch (again) which is usually a quite deep kind of sleep,   
   typically devoid of anything, as the TV (at low volume) creates a kind of   
   sound blanket that the mind uses in such a way as to blanket out all sensory   
   distractions.  If I had    
   any dreams while on the couch, they are not coming back to mind.  (However, my   
   first "astral (time) bridge" took place one night on a couch, when I drifted   
   off to sleep with a question on my mind that was answered from 4 years in the   
   future.)   
      
   The point of that introduction being that I got to "bed" around 5 AM, and from   
   that point fell into a kind of dwelling point / meditation upon "God" which   
   led me to understand exactly where "God" is found / sensed within a person   
   (similar to the 6th [   
   sacral] chakra, but that's simply "off" a bit) and this launched me into a bit   
   of an envelope of new thought / meditation, which lasted for at least an hour   
   until I finally fell back asleep.  I had *one* short little dream that was   
   slightly amusing that    
   I can recall:   
      
   I was in what seemed like a hallway of sorts, more like a drawing room, and in   
   a kind of motion, as two people in communication.  To be more specific, I was   
   telling a pun / joke to my late cousin, Linda, only the fact that she died   
   some years ago due to    
   cancer didn't even cross my mind until after I'd awoken from the dream.  The   
   pun / joke went *something* like this:   
   "What did the diabetic say to the other diabetic?"   
   (sort of a silent state of expectation from Linda)   
   "What an unsweetened thing to say?!"  (It was a tad funnier in the dream.)   
   The audible (?) portion of the dream seemed a tad like a fractured   
   soundtrack.  Back in the "old days," records (platters) were prone to pops,   
   hiss, and skips.  In modern online music, there's a kind of skip-break in the   
   stream that may be heard when a    
   download is just a tad thin (not enough bandwidth to channel the entire   
   stream.)  When this is seen in a visual representation of the wave file, the   
   break / skip is actually *visible* as an empty gap (which can be edited out   
   using wave-editing software)    
   so that the playback is contiguous / continual / sounds unbroken, because the   
   data stream is (rendered as) unbroken.  I (the dreamer) could *hear* the gaps   
   in the joke, nearly as a stutter would sound as in real life.
