Awaken, sleeper.
After watching Mulholland Drive last night, I went to bed and had a dream. When I awoke, I felt like a new person. I don’t mean I was well rested; in fact, I was even more tired than normal. I don’t mean that the dream changed my outlook on things; the dream was rather materialistic, about a giant personal theater for playing video games (a dream I’ve had before). I mean out of place, out of time. Some sort of dimensional shift; like I didn’t belong in this reality. When you wake, how do you know you are the same person that went to sleep?
It was just a feeling. Nothing more.
Right?
The end of dreams
Do you remember the last dream you had?
I don’t.
I was digging through my old files and came across (among other things) an old dream log. It only contained two dreams. I remember the first one listed fairly vividly – a rather unpleasant dream about religious fanaticism and Dr. Phil – but do not remember the other at all despite its pleasant nature.
Dream entries used to constitute 50% of what passes for content on this site. I have entries dating back to mid-2004. But I can’t remember a single dream I’ve had in the past 3 months. I’m sure I’ve had them, but I suppose they weren’t interesting enough to share or remember for more than 5 minutes after waking.
So here is to a dream tonight. A back-crushing nightmare or uplifting fantasy fulfillment. I don’t care. So give me something to dream about.
Please, give me something!
