I lay in bed and think about the novel I'm writing, the next chapter and what's going to happen next. Then I think about what I might want to eat...

If I haven't set the alarm because I have to go somewhere, and am just waking up naturally . . . I tend to spend some time with my eyes still closed and relaxing until I realize I'm actually awake. (That's as opposed to the times when I'm really not quite awake and am going to drift off back to sleep.) At which point I get up and get my orange juice, return to bed, get my laptop, and drink the former while dealing with emails, etc. on the latter before seriously getting up. (Being retired is fun!!!)

I tend to jot down dream exerpts.
I feel strongly we're awake both during the day (physically) but either restless at night or encounter information not available during the day which can then become implemented and useful during the physical.
Many inspirations for books, Art as well as Messages have throughout History been known to become inspired throughout our Dreaming process.

I like your train of thought Elleise. I know many of the story and article ideas I have came to me during dreams or just right as I was starting to drift off.

Sometimes it's fun to try and get back into the dream I was having just before I woke up. If I can't, it makes me realise that it is indeed time to get up and begin the day!

I do that too JOY, if I can. There are other times when I'm glad that I finally woke up out of a dream too.

I have a spiritual routine I follow - first connect to the light and ask for any messages.
I get up - make coffee first thing LOL!!!
Then I write down any dreams, and then journal.
If I go on a facebook binge first - all is lost!!!

I pull myself out of bed, because I love to sleep so much. Get some water, walk to the computer, sit down and take my vitamins. Then start my writing and all. I try stay away from FB, for the most part, during the day or I all is lost, like you said Deanna. I totally understand that.

I set the tone of the day. When the alarm goes off I immediately smile and thank God for giving me another day. I let the dogs out, then while they're out in the yard, I start writing my day plan. I write where I will go and when. I also make a list of any phone calls, emails and other mail I need to get done. After a lot of coffee I get myself ready for the day by showering and putting on new clothes. Then I get going!
