The Nature of Dreams


Dreaming is a state of instability; the scenery, the situations, and even the people ever changing. And yet somehow it makes sense...at the time; fragmented and yet flowing. Some dreams even feel as though they connect somehow across nights, weeks, months, and even years!

They are filled with familiar elements...

Like WATER
...surging toward you in 20 foot waves
...filled with snake-like sea monsters the size of trains
...concealing a hidden kingdom of luminous domes
...in a swimming pool filled with glittering coins
...shooting you down a rickety water slide

WATER...
beautiful as a dream, yet terrifying as a nightmare...

With my eyes closed...


So vivid. The sights. The sounds.
Even the smells and the tastes.
The touch...
The emotions....

The sensation of floating in dark nothingness...
The warmth of magic at your fingertips!
Your feet lifting from the ground! Flying! FALLING!

The pain! The horror!
THE VERY IMPOSSIBLE!!!

It all feels so real...

And then you wake up.
