Sleep
I’ve been sleeping a lot, lately. Not necessarily better, but certainly more. I’m dreaming more, and the dreams are strangely calming in my otherwise bleak world.
I like sleep. I look forward to getting into my bed at night, closing my eyes in the darkness, listening to my iPod for a while, and then getting some sleep. And I dislike waking up – I take a long time to get out of bed, because I keep wanted to go back to sleep, and to return to the dreams of the moment, whatever they are.
There’s a strange blending now. The line between sleep and wake is blurring. I sometimes feel that things are more real in the dream world than in the real world. If indeed the real world is real at all.
It’s the end of 2009. I will not stay up tonight. I am going to bed now, to try to get back to that other world, where things, ironically, make more sense.
Farewell, 2009. It is time. And sleep is good.
