    Deep sleep, don't even dream, but still 'aware'? You may be one of the undead.

    You mean when you wake up and wonder why your motor quit. Then realized you are at home.

    Well, I have been undead all my life then... Better than being dead in my opinion. Very rarely dream at all. When I do it is kind of a dejavue a few weeks or months later. My grandpa had this too, dream about something and within a few months what he would see in the dream happens.

    When I was a kid he dreamed of my grandma's sister washing black shoes in a black kettle. That was a bad omen to them. Then he dreamed of her hanging white sheets out to dry. That was supposedly bad too. That next day they got a letter saying that her sister had died on the night he had the first dream.

    Once I picked up a load of Ice Cream and the reefer was set at -10. Over into the night my APU quit. It was a hot night so it did not take long for me to get up and go see what was causing the problem. Turned out it was the APU was a bit low of oil. Because I kept a gallon of oil It was a snap to get it going again. Just as I was about to get back inside I saw my reefer throwing codes. I dang near lost a load of ice cream that night, and would have if that APU had not went out. The starter on the reefer went out and my company had to pay for a service call. By the time the Thermal King service man got there my ambient temp in the reefer was up way too high.

    Does a tractor with a sleeper have separate bunks? Or does the team share one? Just thinking the second might be a bit nasty once I get to the training phase of my new career.
