26 Dreams
A blog post of a friend had me start on writing this.
Lately, I’ve been having very frequent and vivid dreams, some with strangers whom faces I couldn’t recognize, some with people I have never met in life, and some with the last people I’d like to have in my dreams. And only just recently, I started to have dreams within dreams, namely two dreams in one dream.. ok.. that’s confusing.. well to cut it short, I would sometimes get two or more different dreams before waking up. The dream changes the moment it reaches a climax ie. when I feel like being pulled back, or when I get the falling feeling, forcing the dream to change (if I happen to not wake up).
These constant dreams of mine were not in the least harmful (I think), but they literally end up with me waking feeling dead tired and exhausted. Well most of them, especially ones that had me running, flying or falling. Have you ever had a dream of trying to run after or away from something, only to subconsciously realize that you’re being outmatched by a dream? You feel like you’re just running in place no matter how hard you try to run? It terribly annoys me when that happens, because first, in actuality I run pretty fast, but in a dream everything seems to be in slow motion whenever I find the urgency to speed my movement up. Second, it tires me to the point I wake up panting, as if energy has been dissipated from my body. Lagi satu mimpi, the part where you feel like you’re falling from a high place. Most of the time my body will respond to it by jerking a bit causing me to wake up. It certainly isn’t a nice feeling. Hmm maybe that’s why sometimes I get to see people twitching in their sleep.
Usually after waking up, I would be able to recall any specific patterns to my dreams in terms of what happened, but the moment realization hits, I couldn’t remember much of the dream, only vague images of the people I saw or encountered with in it. Then again, I wish I hadn’t been dreaming so often if it weren’t for the fact that dreams make me feel tired.
I hope I could get a dreamless sleep tonight..
