I have dialysis three times per week that involves being in a chair, laid back for 4.5 hours. For some, they watch the provided television, but I can't stand it. I have over-the-ear headphones and I play a particular playlist every time and try to nap, and even if I can't get to sleep, I have my eyemask on, so it's a dark place with nice music to hang out.

Multiple times now I've been in a dream after having successfully gotten to sleep, and someone will talk to me in my dream, but I can't hear them because I have music playing in my headphones. (When I dream at night, no headphones, I never hear any audio in my dreams, so the lack of them talking is not unusual, except the musci playing I can hear). So in the dream, I realize I have headphones on, and I tell them - sorry, jsut a sec, lemme take these headphones off so I can hear you. And I take the headphones off, and te music is still going. So I take my headphones off again...... but the music is still playing. And I will take my headphones off a half dozen times, getting more and more frustrated that I can't make te music stop so I can hear them.

It's quite annoying, but somewhat hilarious (in an eye-rolling way) when I do wake up and remember it happening. lol
