"I love it when people laugh about things that only they think are funny. It's such a gift to be able to entertain yourself, crack yourself up--to have that sort of sense of humor. Never lose that."
It's kind of funny how we trust sleep. It's something so innate in all of us. For me, the amount of time I sleep for often evades me. Sometimes I have those days where I feel like I've slept for seconds, and it turns out I've slept for a whole night, other times I feel like I've slept for days and it's only been a few hours. Either way, at some point we lose consciousness of time's passage, which is something that I find interesting.
It all goes with the whole time is relative thing.
Our lives tick away, but we can have respite from the insanity that life is. Without it we don't survive. Everyone has to take a break every once in a while.
I never understood what people meant by the falling dream, but I definitely had one the other day where I physically felt like I was falling, and I woke up with the sensation that I had just been dropping through the sky, my heart still pounding. I've had falling dreams before, but they've never actually woken me up with a jolt like that.
Dreams are another subject entirely, I suppose.
And what if you go to sleep and never wake up? Or someone breaks into your house? Someone attacks you? I have often been roused from sleep by pranksters. In sleep we are so vulnerable.
I think sleep, and dreams, are going to be a new sort-of-preoccupation of mine to tackle. Now that I've shelved time, it's about time (haha) that I pondered something different.
I'm patching it all up, I think. Thinking about patches, too.
