the sleep~

havent had enough lately with all the shit goin on... pass few days i've been subsituting water for caffine~

yesterday was a long long day... from the moment i woke up at 6am, till the time igot home from playin soccer at 11pm~ its been like this for 3 days now... and that night when i went to bed, i had one of the best uninterrupted sleep in a long time, i was literally unconcious~

it wasn't that kinda sleep where u'd close ur eyes for like 2 secs and it was morning already, neither was it those sleep for 10 hours but still wake up feeling like u've been sleep dancing all night....

and the dreams, oohhh... i dreamt of dream after dream~ and they felt soooo real, and yet, so conceptual~ first i was in a bus sitting nice to some girl, then i was in a house with a friend... they were meaningless, frivolous, silly, but rather enjoyable :)

its intriguing to experience the surrealness of dreams.....though, i wouldnt call it something u "feel", its more like a sensation... like lookin at a painting. yeah, dreams are like art... art of the subconcious mind harmonizing the strange reflections of the day with the lucid dramatizations of the REAL world...

dreaming is free~
we fly, we travel, we pretend...
we fantasize of wealth.. of power.... of sex~
to dream, is freedom...
its like an orgasm of the mind...
to dream, is love~

infact not alot of people seem to appreciate sleep anymore, everyone's bragging about how much sleep they DIDN'T get the night before as a way to bolster their self-righteousness... saying that u sleep 3-4 hours aday makes others see u as disciplined & drivin... when actually all ur doing is more harm to ur body~

i read a book today about the great renaissance essayist Montaigne who loved sleep so much tat his onli frustration was that when ur asleep, u arent conscious of its pleasures. So he instructed his servants to wake him up in the middle of the night so that he could come into a semi-consciousness in order to savour the feeling of sleepyness & enjoy the pleasure of going back to sleep~

Sleep is a break from toil, a release of responsibility~
we postpone our duties & give ourselves up to a greater force so magical that it subsides our worries and soothes away concern~


kinda makes u feel a lil tired readin this doesnt it?
bet u just smiled a lil too cause u know its true :)





nights~
