Heya, I bought some weeks ago new terrycloth beddings (pillows, blanket and bed sheets) and since then I started to sleep longer, feeling more powerful when waking up and I started to have more and intense dreams. Well, I suppose terrycloth seems to be much warmer than silk- or cotton beddings and I wonder if the heat is related to what I experienced. I am living in the basement and especially during winter it is colder here than in any of our other rooms of the house, so could it be that my body just reacts to the effect of a general temperature change? I never thought much about it and I am especially delighted about the stuff that happens in my head during sleep. My dreams become much more multi-variant in storytelling with things I never dreamed of before and are not only connected to events I experienced on the day(s) before. They are also not strictly positive or negatively connected to emotions or my general state of mind. The reason why I tell you is because I wonder about it in the first place, but I had also weird Gamestudio dream tonight that was fun ^^ Well, I was a bit annoyed that the forecast page wasn't updated for months now and I dreamed that I turned on my PC as always and I went to the gamestudio site and it was completely new! JCL had secretly sold the whole thing or invested a large pile of money, the site was white and bright and colorful, so pro and so elegant, the users had to re-register to the forums (I noticed because JustSid already spammmed it and I wasn't able to reply) and he also re-branded it: The name changed from Gamestudio to something stylish, it had 3 letters and new stylish logo, something with Y, N, U or so..., I don't know. --- Well, and the best thing of all was that the compiler wrote some poem lines between the dots during compilation, and when you opened up the EXE code in a hex editor, there were sometimes small short stories from JCL embedded as unused static char arrays So, has anyone experienced the same? - not my dream, but the experience of a relation between temperature and sleeping/dreaming?

Haha this completely reminds me of ulillillia, the issue, the basement and esp. the funny description of your dream. (Sorry that I'm not really helpful here.)

You should post your dream in the "Ask the developers" forum! Thanks for sharing it. It was very funny. :-D
@ Your question: Yes, I experienced that, too. I`ve got a very cheap slatted frame plus a 24,90€ matrize here in my little appartement. And I wouldn`t recomment that to anyone. I`m dreaming weird things, I`m always a little bit tired and sometimes "confused in my mind" and inconcentrated, and I`ve got some back trouble. I`m feeling "bad". I`m sure that this is caused by my cheap bed because always when I`m at home sleeping in my teenage room, everything`s fine and I`m way more rested. Maybe I should look for a better bed, too. I should save some money for this.

to answer your question: yes. when the body is cold, it tires to protect vital organs by reducing the blood flow to them. when its warm, the blood flows throughout the entire body better and its able to mvoe more oxygen through the brain, resulting in a more powerful sleep with more vivid dreams.
i have the opposite reaction to you though. i live on the second (third if you be american) floor directyl under the roof. my flat is faced southwest, so i have it pretty warm. i have it too warm, cant sleep so i need less bedding. i have a very hard time sleeping ebcause my brain never rests, its always rattling. and the warmer it is, hte harder it is for me to sleep...

Hey Sidney, it`s starting to get somewhat dangerous. Rainbow horse with big tear-filled eyeballs, posts with pink letters and sweet red cheeks. (not serious) It might be because he doesn't have a girlfriend anymore, so he is filling the void by being his own girlfriend
