Tossing and turning

Tossed and turned last night, trying to find a comfortable spot to get to sleep. When I finally did, oh boy, how I wished I didn't fall asleep.

I had so many dreams, and they all seemed to come at once.

My fears, my paranoia, seemed to chase me throughout my dreams last night. I dreamt about people throwing up (which is something I'm very afraid and traumatised by the easiest). And then, it switched to having dinner with a friend. Only thing was, i distinctly remember having a quarrel with the girlfriend while that happened. We were arguing through SMSes, and I remember receiving one message after another that was angry, hurting, and everything else. I remember trying to say that i was emphasising on something else, not what the girlfriend thought it was, but that didn't help. I dreamt that to rid us both of the argument, I had to travel down and talk to the girlfriend face to face. Then the argument did resolve itself.

It was a tumultous night for me. I was glad that morning was here, because sleep was terrible. I have swollen eyes today. I have to go give tuition later. I don't think I would make much sense; my mind is functioning on auto-pilot due to lack of sleep.

I am on auto-pilot. Lucky are the ones who want me to do something for them or to borrow my stuff, because I'm not thinking clearly so there's every chance that I would say yes. That's about one good thing that arrives out of this.

"So what are people supposed to do if they want to avoid a collision? ...The answer is dreams. Dreaming on and on. Entering the world of dreams, and never coming out. Living in dreams for the rest of time.

In dreams you don't need to make any distinctions between things. Not at all. Boundaries don't exist. So in dreams there are hardly ever collisions. Even if there are, they don't hurt.

Reality is different. Reality bites.
Reality, reality." -Haruki Murakami (Sputnik Sweetheart)
