[Misc] I Scored A Six Nations Try Last Night- And It Hurt...

I did one time
Roberto Duran is a hero of mine and I was invited to spar with him with Ray Leonard coaching me
I got involved in a clinch with Duran and punched the back of his head which was actually my missus
No Mas

So last night I decide to sleep on the other side of the bed and, for some reason, have even deeper sleep. Thankfully I get through the night with my sub conscious having fully accepted my rugby retirement. But this morning my eye is very soar and sorry for itself. I'm thinking of emailing Steve Borthwick to say I expect a similar sacrifice from our team this weekend.

Sleep is so fascinating. I slept over about three periods last night and had vivid dreams. Yet within ten minutes I cannot remember one of them. I always concluded that we only remember dreams that the brain deems important. It seems that scientists still don't have a proper theory of how it works after all these centuries.

Shame our brains can't erase memories of football matches- especially against Everton at home.

Early this morning I scored a try in the Six Nations. Only it hurt...

I was having a dream and scrambling to reach a poor pass by the opposition member and touch it down. For the first time in my entire life, my brain seemed to miss-fire my sub conscience in sleep and my body acted as if it was really happening. I proceeded to smash my face on the beside table and fall out of bed.

Although it is rather funny for those not experiencing it, it was actually quite scary as I suddenly woke up in pain and shock with a blooded face. Has anyone else ever had night time dreams that their brain puts in the conscious ? My concern more than anything is that I may need to change the bedside arrangements if my brain can't tell the difference. I'll be breaking my arm when bowling at 90mph to Sunil Gavaskar next...

It’s quite unusual to have lucid dreams like this. We are usually paralyzed in REM sleep to prevent such injuries happening!
