Dream State

I find that I've been having trouble sleeping again, not owing to an inability to fall asleep, but rather an inability to stay asleep. Night after night I am assailed by vivid and memorable dreams unlike any that I have experienced before. If dreams are a portal to the soul, then my soul is a truly transparent place - I know exactly what it desires...

It's funny to be experiencing these dreams. Some I can remember, others simply leave me with a feeling - warm and happy, or wistful and somewhat sad. Regardless of the feeling or the memory, it is a complete departure from what my nights used to contain...nothingness. Except for a few nightmares which would wake me from my slumber, I honestly didn't think that I ever dreamt up until about six months ago. There were no feelings, no memories, no takeaways. Now the experience is wholly different and I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Tossing and turning is no way to spend the night, especially if you are asleep dreaming one thing and wake to an entirely different reality... Then again, it's no worse than your boss calling you at 530 AM because an email didn't go through for some reason.

I've always wondered what the office looked like at 6 in the morning...ok, not really.
