Like Edna, the physical constraints of the room and bed are such that I am sleeping with my head facing west for the time being. But the possibility that my head is in the wrong direction has occurred to me, and have considered experimenting with naps lying in different directions, but on the floor is the only option.
However, I had a strong experience one time in July 2011 when I fell asleep (accidentally … was resting & listening to radio) on my office floor, in the dark, sleeping on a north / south axis, (cannot recall which direction my head was in.) However, I fell asleep on the floor there and had a strong dream that I was sleeping on the office floor on an east / west axis, head to the east. I turned my head around toward the door, which was to my north. My partner walked in with our cat Rocketman in his arms. I attempted to say something to them in greeting, but my voice didn’t seem to work. [Rocketman passed away about one month prior to this dream.] Everything in the dream felt very real; it was like Rocketman with my partner had come in to check on me. No perceived dream distortion. END
I woke up and found my body actually lying on a n/s axis, while had been dreaming of lying with head to east. Immediately upon waking I was very dizzy, and completely disoriented. I had been so convinced I was lying e/w. Waking up and finding my body in nearly the same location on the floor as I had dreamt of being, but facing a different direction, was very disorienting. My partner was sleeping in physical life and perhaps did come to check up on me (in his nonphysical body, with a nonphysical cat whom we miss) because he felt me fall asleep elsewhere, instead of in bed.
I experimented some with directions in my 20s and did not notice a huge difference in dreaming patterns. Mostly I have heard recommendations to sleep with head to north. I would think that different people, who have different energy, would be suited for various directions. At least I hope so, since some of us would have to go to great extremes to change the direction we sleep in. Also different directions could be availed of for different purposes.
The best case would be that intuitively I set the room up as ideally as possible, including for dreaming; would rather believe that than to believe I messed up in the arrangement, because the room is small and shaped in such a way I had no other options besides very poor arrangement of furniture.
