It seems I can trace back a common occurrence of waking up randomly at 3am for at least the past 7 years, off and on. Recently it has happened the past week, starting with the harvest moon up until this morning.
What amazes me is how effortless this awakening is to me. I go from dreaming one moment to full on awareness the next. It has gotten to the point where I no longer look at my clock anymore, as I know it is going to say something from 3:00am to 3:15am without fail. I wake up, sometimes I am especially drawn to looking out my window, other times I begin to perform tasks no different than I would if it were 3:00pm. I always seem to get tired after 7 to 15 minutes and fall back asleep without an issue.
This mornings occurrence was particularly interesting to me for two reasons. The first is that I awoke at 3:07am to the sound of wolves or coyotes howling in unison. I live in a fairly populated area but, I am surrounded by woods so I suppose this is not a stretch to have happened really. The interesting part to me is that it i am completely aware of the fact that hearing the howling did not wake me, i awoke so i could hear the howling.
The second reason is that I have a friend who is very much like me, in the sense of what he believes and strives for, and he awoke at 3:08am this morning fully aware that he had already begun climbing out of bed!
So, anyone familiar with these 3am waking experiences? I know it is a time of power as well as a time of physical weakness but, the fact that it has begun to happen with greater frequency is of great interest to me.
