X-mas Dreams

Filed under: Generalized Ramblings — December 23, 2005 @ 8:07 pm

Ah, Christmas fast approaches, and its been quite a while since my last posting. Sadly, work has gotten rather stressful, and I doubt a four-day weekend in New Jersey is going to resolve that issue.

It seems I may have actually developed a facial tic in the past few weeks, as my right eyelid seems to go a bit twitchy, most often when I’m upset, which is far too frequently at work. Probably makes this a bad time to take up poker.

On the somewhat more interesting side, I’ve been taking Omega-3 fatty acids for a number of weeks now. I had a bit of a run-in with what seems to have been atopic dermatitis, which was a bit of a catalyst for taking them again. I personally prefer OmegaBrite, and I’ve been going through my accumulated stash pretty quickly.

I’ve taken Omega-3’s on and off over a number of years. I can’t say if they’re having an anti-inflammatory effect, helping with heart disease, or any other things. But from an anecdotal standpoint, I can pinpoint one interesting effect.

When I take Omega-3’s for a few weeks straight, I start to remember my dreams much more vividly. I can’t say if the dreams themselves change much, but I find myself remembering far more in the mornings, and remembering some vivid, unusual dreams. I haven’t come across anyone else reporting a similiar impact, so I’m fairly curious if anyone experiences any dream-related changes when taking them.

    Chris,

    Your site looked like it needed a comment - and what a perfect entry to comment on! Seriously, dude, you have to lay off the crack before going to bed… :-P

    What at work is stressful, well, besides the researchers and all blowing up the cluster? Facial ticks bad…

    TTYL,
    Matt
