I love to sleep. I am not sure why this is but I have a working theory. It has to do with my dreams. I have a lot of them. Most are way better than real life.
That's quite a statement considering I have a pretty good "real" life.
In most of my dreams, I am a reluctant or dark hero. I fight the bad guys and I like it because, inside, I am a bad guy as well. In these "conflict" dreams, I always win. I guess that's to be expected since I am writing the script.
I sometimes have this dream where I can't find the right uniform to wear. I went to Annapolis for college and having the right uniform seemed to be important back then. The dream is always the same. I have an inspection and when I open my closet, there is nothing there. I am not sure if this is a dream or a real memory that I am having trouble putting into the recycling bin.
Last week, after having this dream, I went to www.worldgratitudelist.com. There is a place there where you can write down things you want to let go. I wrote that I am letting go of this uniform dream. The next night, I had the dream again. This time, I opened the closet and guess what...it was still empty. However, when I turned around, there was a laundry lady there with all of my uniforms freshly pressed and hanging in nice plastic coverings.
Funny how that worked out.
Today, I was at Costco trying to decide if I could eat a lifetime supply of tomatoes before they went bad. That was the smallest package I could buy. This reminded me of a dream I had a few years ago. In this dream, I wanted a pet monkey so I went to Costco. Made perfect sense at the time. When I got to Costco, they didn't have any monkeys. But they did have gorillas for sale over by the dog food section. They were very affordable. The only downside was that you had to buy a minimum of three.
Right now, I am working on my Lucid Dreaming. This is a dream state where you realize you are dreaming and take control of the wheel. Once I master this, I may choose to never wake up again.
