DREAM A LITTLE DREAM...





i have never been able to remember my dreams...no matter how i tried, or how many "dream recognition" exercises i practiced before i fell asleep, when i woke, never fail, my dreams were forgotten...

i even sometimes think that i simply DON'T dream...like i'm missing that part of the brain that allows people to escape their daily issues and fantasize about the untouchable...

now while i'm aware that it's physically and neurologically impossible to NOT dream; everyone who enters into REM sleep, dreams...and most are completely and totally able to remember at least some part or image from the dreams they drempt...and then another select few of us are completely and totally UNABLE to remember them...and yet still are forced to regale in the retellings of our friends past dreamscapes and nightmares...

well from the mouth of someone who CANNOT remember their dreams; let me tell you that we don't wanna hear about it bitches!!!?!? and we feel you're bragging that you can revel in the afterthoughts of your amazing and bewildering dreams all freakin day long...so cut it out!!!

now don't get me wrong, everynow and then i'll wake up with a certain image still burning in my short-term memory...but most of the time the images aren't pleasant ones, and are usually leftovers from nightmares (yes, i too get those sometimes...and unfortunately those types tend to be the ones that stick around!) or else the rest of the time the images won't make sense, and when i try to put them into words i'm at a loss...and i end up forgetting anyways...left only with the feeling they gave me...

and yet sometimes still i'll wake up to find out that my little friend has been enjoying some pleasant images from within my twisted mind, and will be standing at full attention...and who am i to deny him his satisfaction?? at least part of me is benefiting from my dreams!!

but in the end, when i really consider my situation, i come to the realization that things could be a lot worse! i could be one of those people who have the utmost trouble falling asleep in the first place...or i could be plagued by incessant fits of tossing and turning/waking up in the middle of the night unable to fall back asleep...man, that would be shitty...

so i am at least proud to say (knock on wood) that i am able to fall asleep very blissfully, and at a whim...whether completely exhausted or just slightly in need of a snooze!! so there!!

besides, why waste time dreaming when the real world is so much more exciting?

*wink, wink*
