The dreams…

by Amanda

My newest medication is a wonder drug. Really. It has made me so absolutely sane and rational that words can’t begin to describe the amount of sane-ness and rationality that exists in my life right now.

But there is a down side to every up, and as with everything, this new wonder drug has a down side.

My new wonder drug has created within my mind a monster that will not go away. I have become a dreamer. I have vivid dreams on an almost daily basis. They are so vivid that the afternoon after I have the dream, it is still on my mind, replaying like a video that won’t turn off.

The dreams that I have now are incredibly vivid, as though they are real life. I occasionally wake up feeling disoriented, and not knowing what is real and what I have drempt. Sometimes my dreams are exhausting, and I wake up drenched in sweat and completely ready to head back to bed because dreaming the things that I dreamed took so much out of me that I need a nap.

I love sleep, and I love everything that is associated with sleep. I even love dreaming now and then. I just wish I didn’t have to dream until sleep itself is exhausting.
