dreamless slumber
Oh how i've missed a dreamless slumber. For the past one month or two I have been retiring to bed exhausted from day's work only to wake upthe following morning fatigued because of my sojourns to dreamville. My dreams were characterized by quests for people, places, objects that brought me to various locations sometimes by foot, sometimes on board a car, jeepney, plane, boat, skateboard, pushcart, or what have you. Still sometimes I just find myself "teleporting", (a word I learned from my son) from one spot to another in a matter of nanoseconds. I didn't find anything. I would always awaken just when I am on the verge of spotting whatever or whoever is the object of my night's quest.
Now that was frustrating because after not finding anything at all I would often wonder what my dreams meant. Every morning I would recollect the details and attempt to relate the subconscious to my conscious self in the hope of finally putting an end to what seemed like an infinite pursuit of something i didn't even know what. But to no avail.
I finally gave up interpreting my dreams, i pondered that I needed the help of a professional dream analyst who would shed light and tell me whether there was something lacking in me that I needed to find or whether those dreams didn't mean a thing at all. In introspection, I realized that right now I have the upper hand as far as my existence is concerned and no need to convolute my brains more with what might simply be irrelevant images that appear when i was in subconscious state.
Last night, I had my first dreamless slumber (first, after a very long time). It was such a respite from nightly trips to dreamland. This morning when I woke up I felt I rested and glad that finally I didn't have to tire myself deciphering the subliminal mind. But then I was also amused because I actually wondered why it was such an uncomplicated sleep. With that, I leapt out of bed and shook off all my cares away.
