I power nap a few times a day for briefly 15 minutes a whack. It is rejuvinating and it is where my inner imagery is stored. Letting dream images come to me at their own gait, in a waking state, rather than a sleeping state. I am just lightly lucid and the most vivid images come to me, and then I get up and put the imagery to paper. This write is so refreshing, Peter and I really like this line, "So step this way in confidence." Thanks for the daily inspiration, Peter.

i've been power napping for years ... i only sleep a few hours a day so power napping revitalizes me ... it's also a great vechicle for the wake induced lucid dream state (W.I.L.D.S.) ...

i like what you say in this poem ... the images capture the moment and the experience ...

In our dreams we visit realms beyond our perception and imagination only to wake up again in the lowest realm of all - the physical plane. All of us present here and now have a long way to go, an abundance to learn or we would not be here. The only way out is to cast away the limits that trap the scope of our minds and the space in which our spirits move. The conditioning that confines us to this illusion we call life, will deny and ridicule all we experience and encounter in our dreams. But its authority like all else is ephemeral. Thank you for creating and sharing. Take care,

If I go to sleep for 15 minutes, I will wake up but I will roll back over and sleep for at least two more hours..then I am in a fog that is beyond clearning...also I am so tired that I am ready to go to bed for the night in an hour or so. I have always envied those who could power nap and awaken refreshed.
Take care,
Sherry

Peter,

I wish I could take a power nap, but if I lay down at any time during the day, you can forget me sleeping at night....grrrrrr, drives me crazy.

An excellent write, though...enjoyed!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

But don't a rocking chair take effort to rock...
Nice one, yup a great worry free nights kip helps too...

Now rest those weary eyelids a while
And drift along with me in style
Sample all the delights of really being free
Liberated in your rocking chair

Sounds like just what I need, Peter - and now, if I can get these critters on my lap in this rocking chair to nap, too, it will be Nirvana!

I have used power naps a great deal, just what you said, they invigorate and they are better than coffee or anything like that...one wakes up feeling refreshed and ready to take on any challenge for another few hours...good write, Pete...peace, Ed & Rufuz
