lovely side-effect

of no coffee in my life for the last 5 days is the resurgence of my dream life.

After a long period of not dreaming while I sleep (or not having any recollection of dreaming), I'm suddenly having dreams, vivid ones, that I remember on waking. Like a silenced voice in me suddenly singing again......

I knew that caffeine depresses the sleep cortex of the brain for up to 10 hours after ingestion. It never occurred to me that it would deaden the dreaming function as well - although, on thinking about it, it makes total sense.
