Last night I woke up at 4:00 am and had to take a medication. I was very much asleep but also awake enough to think, "If I remember my current dream it will help me go back to sleep" or some similar thought without words. I thought, "Ah, I am dreaming about X". I got up, walked into the bathroom. By the time I raised the cup of water to my lips I had forgotten what "X" was.
