Fear of Sleep
Please don’t let me go in, please don’t let me fall asleep!
Isn’t life interesting how you go about your daily tasks and never really think where do our dreams come from? Some people do though, they contemplate and attempt to change the course of the dream story lines or just decide on what they would like to see or do in that space. Lucid dreaming books actually teach you how you can be fully aware in your dreams without waking. The thing is how many of the laymen know about this to try it? Most of us go to sleep and just experience what’s there. If we are even slightly aware we aren’t trying to manipulate anything we just wake and think that was a very vivid dream. And when it comes to dream recall it is one of those things that not a lot of people are able to do.
But do we ever think about the real fear, joy, exhaustion, thoughts, occurrences etc. and how some of our dreams don’t seem too random? A series of bad dreams and now disturbing images are clouding your mind through the day and all of these things or ideas have no evidence. It’s all subjective and it’s really just your word. If people believe you saw that or not is really up to them but it’s all speculative. There’s no control and it’s confusing because why am I going through this when all I wanted to do was rest? But then again since we never know when the bad ones come, we hope for the good and go to sleep in hopes of them.
