You know how sometimes you're just laying in bed trying to go to sleep, 
and suddenly you get that feeling like you're falling really fast just 
for a split second? I really hate that. Makes me jump out of my skin... 
but then of course you realise you only imagined it.

At about 1 AM today, I woke up and it seemed like the entire bed was 
shaking. And shaking fairly hard, actually. As if there was a washing 
machine on a spin cycle next to my bed. And then after a moment or two 
it stopped.

I couldn't figure out how that would be possible, so I figured I was 
just dreaming or something. But I remember being annoyed at being awake, 
and checking the clock to see what the hell the time is. It took a 
while, but eventually I managed to go back to sleep.

Oh, and in other news, apparently there was an earth quake last night...

I get that every once in a while - I could say maybe once per 2 months oslt.

There's a train track at 200-300 meters away from here and if a _very_ 
heavy train passes by all the surrounding grounds shake up a bit. The 
first time was freaking, while the bed just starts shaking a lot (my bed 
_amplificates_ the darn shaking, so it's pretty more noticeable at the 
bed than anywhere else).

  One could think that some law (hmm, what's "kaavoitus" in English?)
would prohibit building too close to train tracks and other such noisy
environments, but I suppose not.

Hmm, now there's an interesting thought... I know there are regulations 
here against high noise levels, but I don't think there's actually 
anything against low-frequency vibrations. (i.e., something that's 
seisemic rather than sonic.)

Why that's relevant I'm not really sure... and um... wow, is it noon 
already?

Well, my house is actually built 60 years ago and I have no idea, how 
old the Hämeenlinna-Helsinki -track actually is, so today's regulations 
don't actually apply (actually, theres much newer houses between mine 
and the track). I think the basic problem comes from increasing weights 
of the trains - 60 years ago there probably wasn't such massive 
movements on that track as today (note that they still are rare).

Actually, I do :). Those trains don't bother me anymore, even though the

negative things living here that I'm pretty satisfied.

       Yeah, you would have felt it more than me, I think. It felt like a

he did. 

I did feel an earthquake once when I worked offshore. That was scary.

There was indeed. A friend from UK messaged me saying basically "I just

   Yes, alive and kicking - apart from one poor chap that finally found out 
how good his roof was on his house. Apparently, his chimney crashed through 
the roof to his bedroom and landed on him whilst asleep. I think it broke 
his pelvis.  :o/

English has an expression "you come from the wrong side of the tracks", 
i.e., you grew up in the poor neighborhood close to the noisy railroad 
tracks, unlike us rich snobby folks.

You don't even need to be particularly close to the tracks. I was in a 
dorm room in university about two blocks away, and when the train with 4 
locomotives pulling 450 cars behind it hit the horn, it set off the car 
alarms for like 3 blocks.

Now I work across the street from Mirimar Airforce Base (also known as 
"Top Gun", as in Tom Cruise), and it gets seriously difficult to test 
audio processing software sometimes. :-?

Well, apparently it's "the biggest earthquake in almost 25 years" (so 
that's, what, 24 years then?)

And I guess Lincolnshire is near to London for suitable definition of 
"near"... ;-)

I'm pretty sure some of the train tracks in London are a tad nearer than 
200 meters. (Try 200 inches...)

    I think I should explain the above further. I was lying on the settee 
watching the telly when it hit, and I thought, "Why is the telly looking 
jerky?" But I finally came to the assumption that it was 'me' that moved! 
Lying on three soft cushions, I felt it more I guess(?!) I *think* I heard 
it too - that rumble. Not sure. Some said it sounded like a deeper (read: 
massive) thunder rumble. I'll go with that if they were closer than me. 
Think about it though; that's giant rock structures/formations underneath us 
having a bit of a wobble. Ah, you gotta love Mother Nature...  :o/

    Some places are saying that it was 10 seconds long, but for me it was 
nowhere near that, (and I felt it from begining to end).

Over here in Utah, we get fairly regular quakes - usually not strong 
enough to really feel (or it feels like a large truck driving by - I've 
felt a few of those, but not recently - you kinda get used to it after a 
while).  But we're due for "a big one" along the Wasatch - we're a little 
overdue, actually.

Which means that we probably need to look at CERT training....Anyone here 
done that?

I saw that on the news this morning.

JHB gets a fair number of 'tremors', mostly as a result of all the mining
that's happened under the city. Last year we had three very noticable shakes
in about 10 minutes. Pretty scary when you're sitting on the top floor of a
6 floor building.

Cool.

I had a friend in high school who kept a dream journal by his bed - one 
night, he had the most bizarre experience:  He had a dream, woke up, 
wrote it in the journal, and went back to sleep.

Got up the next morning and the page was blank.

He worked out (eventually) that he'd had a dream within a dream, woke up 
in his dream and logged the dream-within-a-dream, and then went back to 
sleep in his dream.  That was the only explanation he was able to figure 
out.

I have a very vivid recollection of being attacked in a dream (when I was 
a kid) by a stuffed "plush" alligator.

But until fairly recently, I haven't slept well enough (I guess) to be 
able to remember my dreams.  I went for years without being able to 
recall anything I'd dreamed, but since I started immunotherapy for my 
allergies, I've been remembering more of my dreams.

I'm kinda wondering if my allergic reactions were causing some form of 
sleep apnea that would prevent me from getting a good night's sleep.  I 
was always tired, but these days, I'm not feeling so wiped out all the 
time.

I always *prefer* not remembering my dreams. The ones I remember are so 
upsetting. Still, usually I don't remember a thing. Unless I get woken 
up during a dream...

(The dreams I do remember typically involve me being chased, beated, 
burned, drowned, cut, poisoned, burried alive, frozen to death, starved, 
and other such niceties. Or sometimes just being followed around by 
weird creatures. Yah, *totally* better not to remember!)

By the way... do you ever get that thing where the alarm clock wakes you 
up in the normal, but you're not really awake yet, and you just think 
about random crap for a while? Like, "hey, I should go encrypt that 
sandwich I made once at school, otherwise it'll go mouldy", and other 
nonesense. Or is that just me?

Something I noticed: If I'm woken up by something (like a sound, 
including an alarm clock), I rarely remember what I was dreaming. If I 
wake up by myself, I do.

For several years I would always experience this just as I was getting 
drowsy enough to fall asleep.  It never happened more than once per 
night, even during periods when it happened every night.

Interesting.  Myself, I remember these days even if my alarm wakes me up 
(but I have it set to music, so it's gradual rather than a blaring siren).

But more often than not, I'll wake up during the dream, especially if 
it's one I'm having as I'm falling asleep (as the one I described was).

I read an article a few weeks ago that suggested that dreams are the 
place where your mind prepares you to deal with emergency/crisis 
situations.  I forget where I read that, but the article had a fair 
amount of detail about how they studied it and tied it into people who go 
into "automatic mode" when a crisis hits - like non-trained first 
responders at the scene of an automobile accident.  They typically 
describe feeling like they're on autopilot and not even really thinking 
about what they're doing - almost like they're watching from the 
sidelines.

I do that every once in a while, sometimes I even say the weird sentences 
out loud - so my wife tells me.

I was at the epicenter of the Nisqually earthquake in 2001 (6.8),
had a hutch tip over and break the glassware and doors.
It sounded like a train went through the house.

Then my subconscious must be convinced that I will never be in a crisis 
situation.  All of my dreams recently have involved living an ordinary 
life in an ordinary place, doing ordinary things.

Well, there was one that involved me and four women, looking for some 
privacy, but I woke up before we found any...

I lived my childhood in a vicinity of the railroads, and I grew fond of
