I really didn't know what I was missing out on. Also, I'm glad I finally did it!

I got a new bed. It's a memory foam mattress and it is changing my (dream) life. No joke. 

I suffered with a bed that was too firm for 3 years! Part of the reason I persisted in keeping it, despite the tossing and turning and waking up 1-2 times a night to change positions, is that I had spent quite a bit of money on it in the first place; also, I always held out hope that it would eventually "break in" and be more comfortable. Oh, what a mistake that was! 

The worst part about having an uncomfortable bed is that I had a hard time settling into a state that promoted dreaming. Over the last 3 years, I really did not dream too much or remember them. I think the awareness of my physical discomfort while asleep kept my consciousness tied too closely to the physical.

With my new Novaform memory foam mattress, I feel like I'm floating on a cloud! I rarely -if ever- wake up in the middle of the night to get more comfortable. I usually sleep all the way through the night! And the best part: I have SO many more dreams now. It's as if I can forget my body more easily now and be more present in the dream state. The last couple of nights I've had more self-awareness and self-possession in my dreams than I have had in a very long time. I feel like my dream life is back!

Do you find yourself waking up in the middle of the night to roll over or turn on your side? Maybe it's time to try out one of these wonderful memory foam mattresses :)
