I love to sleep. It seems to be the only time I am at peace. No problems, troubles, difficulties or stress. I'd rather be asleep than be in the real world. Is that strange? In the morning when its time to get up for work. I say no, let me stay in my trance. I don't want to face reality. Unfortunately I cant do that. Sleep is so comforting. Being unconscious is a blessing for me. I have no idea what's going on in reality and its perfect. My own little make believe world.
Funny thing is I don't have many dreams I remember, so that is good. This past Saturday I had a dream some guy was choking me with his hands around my neck. I couldn't breathe, it was horrible. I woke up and my heart was fluttering like a hummingbirds wings. I realized it was only a dream. I was quite relieved and in a few minutes I was back in a deep slumber. I have another dream every once and awhile that a burglar is in my house and I am hiding under my covers. I am petrified and can't move. I don't know what to do. Then the light goes on in my room. What the hell is going on? Does he know I'm there? Is he gonna kill me? Should I get up and fight him? The situation is reaching a climax. Then I wake up shaking like a leaf. Its not real. I will live to see another day. No problem, back to sleep in a few minutes. Even with bad nightmares, I'd still rather be asleep.
A lot of people wish to die in their sleep. Of course I hope that happens to me someday(not too soon). It would be so peaceful to leave this existence in serene slumber. As Morrissey so appropriately wrote in the song "Asleep", "There is another world. There is a better world. Well, there must be. Well, there must be.".
