Word of the Day: Sleep

I was walking through the rain forest, when out of nowhere, out jumps Jim Carrey dressed in a pumpkin suit singing "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.



Dreams are....strange. There are good ones, funny ones, ones that make no sense at all (see above), and of course, nightmares.



I had a nightmare once when I was younger that a vampire had kidnapped my older brother, my mother and I in our house. I was lucky enough to escape, but my family wasn't so lucky. The worst nightmares I have are about running though. Example: I'm running over some sand dunes and I trip and fall and can't get back up. Then my legs actually move becasue my dream is so vivid and I wake up. It's the worst feeling.



The dreams that make you feel good inside are always nice to have. Those are the ones where you save a life and go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize. More than likely it's not going to happen in real life, so it's nice to get that experience.



My favorite dreams, however, are the ones that make no sense at all. In my family these are the most common. Our breakfast table is essentially a tell dreams table when you stuff food in your mouth whenever you're not talking.



Some people think these dreams that make no sense actually do make sense. That your "subconcious" is trying to speak to you, telling you what to do in your life. B.S. Your "subconcious" is most likely just trying to reboot. Think of all you do in one day. And with all that, your brain goes a little hay-wire at the end of the day? Go figure. Sleep is the way your brain gets to unwind.



I'm writing today on the subject of sleep because I'm completely lacking in that department. And I will probably still be lacking when I get home in 2 weeks.

That's the way life is I guess. Sometimes it's good and uplifting. Sometimes it's scary and all you want to do is get out of there. Other times it's almost to crazy to believe. Isn't it great?
