I expected somewhat of an explanation at the end of this, but no
♫ Now let’s all agree, to never be creative again. ♫
I am a frequent sleepwalker. I have known this the majority of my life.
According to my parents and my sisters, I have gotten up, gone downstairs and moved stuff around in the fridge (obviously my subconscious was craving some late night munchies). I have gotten up and repeatedly opened and closed my drawers and my closet. I have gotten up, woken my mother up and asked what there was to eat (food is just big to my mind apparently). I have gotten up, ran into the bathroom, flushed it, then ran back to my bed. I have gotten up, made my bed, and left my neatly folded blankets on the floor in the next room (this was discovered by me when I woke up in the middle of the night cold). I have gotten up, and decided I would rather sleep on the chair next to my bed.
I have also just gotten up, and done things that I, nor my parents and sisters know what they are because they just hear noises but don’t want to go to my room and check because well, it’s always creepy to see someone sleepwalk. Needless to say, subconscious Emmanuel is a busy guy.
Sleepwalking fascinates me because I feel like there has to be some motive in my mind that’s causing me to do these specific actions. By subconscious must have some sort of reason. Maybe it’s trying to tell me something? Or what am I doing every night that I just don’t know about? And so, I came up with the idea to use my macbook and just record myself through the night. I felt like this would be a really interesting thing to watch. Then I realized it would also be incredibly creepy.
What if I do extremely creepy things? What if my subconscious KNOWS about the camera (since I did have the thought) and I just stand up, and stare straight into the camera for hours and hours? How would I ever be able to sleep at night again knowing that my subconscious stared at me for hours and hours? My subconscious would be purposely trying to tell me something since it knows I will see the video. It’s just too creepy. I have not recorded myself sleeping. I want to. But I am afraid that it might ruin my sleep every night after I watch the video.
What If my subconscious has discovered the perfect recipe for the worlds best sandwich and I make it while sleepwalking?! That would be awesome.
