I have this thing my brain does when I'm writing and it's getting late, so I have to stop and go to bed. I'll fall asleep, but it's like my brain keeps problem-solving for me about where to go in the next scene or how to resolve some conflict, so I get stuck in this infinite-brain-dream-loop where it's coming up with absurd ideas that makes sense when I'm less conscious and are clearly problematic when I'm more conscious, so it starts over again with another cycle of problem-solving and prevents me from falling into a deep sleep.
Or it'll take my characters and stick them in an entirely different story with all new characters. Last night, for example, I was inside the body of one of my MCs, living in some fictional house, and some chick from this show I was watching earlier was acting as a double spy between me and this other fictional guy whose name was apparently "El Rouche" (does that even mean something???) who was mad at me for foiling his attempt to burn my dad's house down because my dad didn't do something El Rouche wanted him to do so now he was going to burn my house down, which meant I had to stay awake to keep an eye on him, where he was set up across the street in the neighbor's house, and I wanted to lock my doors but couldn't because my husband thought it was silly to lock the doors. Oh, and it's incredibly restful to be asleep and dreaming that you can't be asleep because danger, in case you were wondering.
Please, tell me what lovely things your subconscious likes to do to torture you while "sleeping"! /solidarity
