Dreams

Dreams are funny things. When i remember them, i can narrate them from start to finish. Its almost a film, except its usually shot in first person and in vibrant colors.

Its something ive always done and has led to some pretty odd moments of deja vu when, at times, i see or feel like ive already done something before. Of course, there are times where the dream is slightly too fantastical for an event to occur, but many are pretty grounded in the realm of plausible.

Dreams have always intrigued me though. The composition, the stark differences between mine and others. The narrative and the disjointed. The sensations.

One somewhat recurring dream isnt really recurring, just the ability is. I feel very light compared to the gravity around me. Everything else retains its normal properties, but i am able to easily spring as high as a telephone pole and, in many circumstances, glide forwards at the very least twice as high as i can jump.

It feels so natural that i feel extremly weighed down when i awaken, however there are rare times a retain the feeling for five minutes after i wake up and actually feel lithe and agile as any living thing. Its always a dissapointment to come away from that feeling.

The mind is quite a strange and unique thing. I despise that i lack the ability to draw because of the amazingly detailed Tim Burton-esque imaginings that, instead of being dark, are more happy go lucky and light.

I concede that one reason i like  www.vinnieveritas.com flashe animations so much is that it nearly perfectly captures my good dreams so well, albeit in a kess detailed manner than i see them. Its difficult to describe exactly the feeling i get from it.

The nightmares do come occasionally, but im often able to remind myself im dreaming and start to try to understand why im dreaming these things in the dream. I become more of an investigator trying to uncover the cause, which becomes the driving force of the nightmare. Rather than events just happening, i take a proactive role to combat them and some sort of yet discovered player constantly seems to mock my efforts and attempt to intimidate me by being two steps ahead. This only incites further investigation. I wonder when ill catch up to them and figure out what exactly is going on and why.

Thoughts abound but im done for now. Have a good night!
