Well, this morning was a doozy and I'm still a little shaken but not stirred by it - not weirded out by it, since something like this happened back in 2001 prior to the advent of this site. It must have been around six-thirty or seven, since it was not quite light out yet. I woke up from a dream, and I had to go to the bathroom. Even as I was getting out of bed I knew I'd gotten up too fast after awakening - something you should never do for reasons you'll understand momentarily. I got to the bathroom - whilst doing what needed to be done I was very, very dizzy, the result of having gotten up too fast. I had to hold on to a little shelving unit in back of the toilet. I finished, and tried to get back to the bed quickly - I didn't make it. I lost my bearings and I think I either stumbled or blacked out for a second, because instead of getting to the bed I went down, unfortunately near the dresser. I don't know if I went completely to the floor, but it was close. I was brought back to complete consciousness by pain in my chin, my knee, and my ribcage. I realized I'd begun to collapse and I obviously did so while banging into the sharply-cornered dresser. I stumbled to the bed and lied down. I felt my face and everything felt okay, my knee hurt, and my ribs hurt only a little, so I just laid there and got my bearings. I could feel the inside of my cheek which felt pretty raw and I'd obviously bitten it somehow, as one sometimes does. After about ten minutes, I got up and went back to the bathroom. I had a nice little gash and bruise going near my chin, but no real blood - just real redness. I washed it and put a Band-Aid on it. I then got back into bed, where I've been until now. When I got up again I looked at the dresser, which was very interesting. I'd knocked a candle off of it, and everything on it (TV, stereo speakers, stereo) had been violently shoved out of its usual places (not by much) and all the CDs that were stacked were lying all over the top of the dresser.
