Jacques Derrida

I completely agree with Derrida's idea that his thought is more conscious in his "half-sleep" before he goes to bed than when he is actually awake and writing. When I go to sleep, the last few thoughts that I have before I fall asleep are always so clear. If I have a problem in my life, the answer always comes to me in those last moments of the day. However, when I am writing and I get on a roll with my topic, my mental state is somewhat subconscious. Often times I don't even remember what I wrote once I am done. In this way, I guess I should organize my paper "awake" when im almost asleep and then write it when I am "asleep" when I'm awake. Wow that sounds pretty confusing.
