What Dreams May Come, starring Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr. has to be one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s title comes from the Hamlet quote, “For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?”
However, this post is not about the afterlife, but rather about my current life. It seems my subconscious loves to mock me in dreams while I sleep at night. When life is going well, my mind shows me the memories I miss, or occasionally visions of things I fear. When life is not going well, I dream wonderful dreams of things that could be, or of pleasant times gone by, so that when I wake in the morning I earnestly long to go back to sleep; not because I’m tired, but to escape reality.
All that to say, I had a rough day yesterday, but it ended well. Last night, I dreamed of a person I missed, and my brain was wracked with illogical doubts about what might have happened should I have done something different, or fears about what might be happening now.
