Weary. Wasn’t sleeping last night,
My soul wandering,
It wandered about time,
And it scared me a trifle. [It scared me exceedingly.]
Couldn’t figure how to place things.
What’s real? What belongs with my dreams.
Pink chiffon and music,
Footsteps …
And angel wings.

I also sleep with my eyes open sometimes. Scared the wits out of my college roommate. Maybe it’s good your eyes are open if you’re gonna be walking around. : )

Lovely! I enjoy my dreams, every night they are different and sometimes amazing! We go on an adventure when we sleep. 😊

That we do. I used to fly in my dreams, but haven’t in a long time. I’m not sure I enjoy my dreams (I have a lot of stressful dreams), but I’d definitely miss them if they disappeared. It’s like a part of our being. Thanks so much.

You flew too! I haven’t had that experience in far too long, it’s so wonderful. You are welcome. 🙏🏻

I love these lines: Couldn’t figure how to place things.
What’s real? What belongs with my dreams.
They describe perfectly that feeling I get when I’m drifting off to sleep.

Thank you. I appreciate that you respond to those lines. Don’t know what an EEG would show, but there is a strange, fuzzy time, I think, between awake and fast asleep/dreaming. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
