bad vibes and good times

Dreams are funny things. They can be visions of the future. They could be memories of times long since past. They can be the cold and dark type that hid in the back of your mind.

I had a dream the other day. Amidst an late afternoon nap that suddenly crept up on me, Laying on the couch with a book resting on my shirt, this dream shook me. Shook me something fierce.

I see flashes of a lover. One that I had loved very much, and had since reconciled to the fact we were never to be. I had thought of her recently. How she was doing, What she was up too, those sorts of things. But this dream brought back memories of last summer. The great things we talked about and the moments we shared. The dream seemed like it lasted for ever, but in reality, it last but a few minutes. No one part particular stands out, but the dream on the whole really put me in a weird place. When I awoke, I had a feeling of dread and emptiness. A cold sweet and my heart pounding. I hadn't texted her in a very long time but I had to, just to make sure everything was alright.

which it was. she was totally fine. The whole rest of the day however I felt off. Why now of all the times to have something like that fly into my brain?

Dreams can be funny things. Even though this particular one brought back memories that are now painful, I wouldn't have traded it for anything.

So now, I drift. Off to bed my good man! The day will be here before you know it and you must rise! I wonder as my eyelids close and breathing slows what tonight will bring. I won't be ready that's for certain. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

Although, a dream involving a sunny beach and pretty girl wouldn't hurt. justsayin. justsayin.

Dreams can be quite a good way of knowing what it is you're truly lacking. A subconscious yearning.

I tend to dream about things that give me a lot of comfort, seeing as though my life is currently without.

It seems to me that you might be feeling the same lack of comfort...

Stupid dreams.
