I've been thinking about this on and off for a while. About insomnia and dreams. And silly explanations that fail to make sense. Sometimes I feel like I can't sleep at night because I don't have anything to dream. I've never had dreams. Never had that goal or job or dream to work for. Never wanted anything. I mean I want happiness. Ultimately. But, who doesn't? For someone (and I hate to sound like a pompous ass or anything) with considerable smarts and skills, why don't I have a dream? Why don't I want something? Why don't I have this life goal? How can I just be floating by looking for something that will make me happy for a little while till I find something else? What's wrong with me? What did I miss? What part of me is missing?
In my world I have insomnia because I've used up all my dreams. On the nights that I can sleep, it's because a dream, even if it's just a day dream, has found me and enveloped me in tryptophan or sleep kisses. On the nights I can't sleep, it's because nothing in me wants to dream or can dream. Such a juvenile thought.
