Dreams

My dreams are way too vivid. I can see colors, hear sounds, feel things and smell odors. The world that is created by my crazy mind seems absolutely real and relevant. The people that I meet seem like the ones that I encounter in my waking life. They are just as real and insistent about their own importance. Some of them tend to get upset when I tell them that they are figments of my imagination and doomed to disappear when I wake up.

One that I had recently I met Britney Spears. I was trying to be friendly and give her the benefit of the doubt so I was talking to her. Then I realized that it was a dream. I was thinking of Joe and decided that it would be fun to create a story that he would enjoy hearing. So I challenged her to a leg wrestling match but she was too stupid to figure out how to play. I lost patience and yelled at her for being so stupid. So I got to tell Britney off. We didn't quite get to the part where she was all in my head and would disappear when I woke up. She wouldn't have understood me anyway.

People tell me that I should write down my dreams, but they are too lengthy and detailed. Each one would be an entire novel. All I can do is pick pieces to relate. Sometimes I wonder if it would just be easier to stay asleep all day, or stay awake and not ping pong between two realities. I think that I would rather be sane all the time.

I told you I would post! Sadly, because of various allergies, I generally have one less sense in real life than you have in your dreams. Everybody has crazy dreams, you just remember them better than most. Sorry to hear that you had a rough day.
