conspiracy theory
i believe my dreams have a conspiracy against me.
i'm a visual person. i like to see things. i can understand directions when they're told to me ... but i'll be 100x more confident if there's a diagram or illustration included. i can sit for long periods of time and just observe. i love to people watch. losing my eyesight is, quite frankly, one of my biggest fears. i think it's because of my visual nature that i enjoy dreams so much. i mean, they're like little movies played out in the personal theater of my mind. i actually think i snooze my alarm so many times in the morning because the nine minutes of sleep i get each time seems to be overflowing with dreams.
so where's the conspiracy? within about 2 minutes, i can't remember what happened! sure, there are bits & pieces that stay with me. and sometimes i'll be able to really tell the story to someone. but for the most part it's just fragments and feelings. i know i was somewhere ... with someone i know,i think ... and we were ... doing ... something? i think. i remember enjoying it. and it smelled like fresh rain. or baking bread. or ... something. yeah.
so i really think my subconscious is aware of how much i love dreaming ... and therefore takes it away in an act of evil entertainment. as i struggle to remember why i was enjoying being asleep so much, my dreams are busting up laughing as they play hide-and-seek in my mind.
and before you say that every one experiences this, that it's normal and therefore cannot be a conspiracy. perhaps you need to contemplate whether your dreams have a conspiracy against you, as well.
(side note: after i publish this i'm going to back-date a second post on "orange". i was going to post it last night, but it turns out i'd left my camera turned on all day, and the battery was dead. so i let it recharge as i recharged (and dreamt about matt's parents tending their tomato garden while waxing philosophic) and the youtube video is uploading now.)
