Dream A Little Dream

 

I am a dreamer.  I enjoy the moments of solitude that allow me to sit back, close my eyes and let the mind run free.  I look forward to the nights of heavy sleep because it allows me to write, produce, direct and star in my own mini-movie.   

Dreams comfort me, entertain me and, at times, leaves me breathless and wanting more.  The mind has this incredible and amazing ability to give me what I want and what I believe I need.   I can feel what I so desperately want to feel.  I can see what my reality is hungering to see.  

... Our hands sliding across the table.. fingers interlocking... feel the warmth and security in that touch.. a silent promise...

I wake up breathless and panting.  My heart slamming in my chest.   I could feel the warmth.  I swear to God my fingers were still tingling from the touch.  I swear it was just happening....

I swear..

There is so much harsh reality in this world that it's nice to delve into a world that does not necessarily exist, but one that gives us what we want, what we believe we need and one that allows us to live out fantasies.  

Dreaming allows us to see things as we wish they were.  They give us the food to stave off our hunger, even if our hunger is satiated only temporarily.  We can see people that we haven't seen in a long time, and we can see people that we wish were lying beside us.  Our dreams allow us to relive the past, rearrange our present and plot our future.  

Dream a little dream.
