Keep your bad dreams close.

I had a couple of really intense bad dreams last night. I am not going to tell you about the dreams or speculate as to what they mean (because dreams are meaningless) but I do want to note that now when you jolt awake and realize it was all a dream, the feeling of relief only lasts a couple of seconds before you remember that what is happening in real life is so much worse. Since we are told these days that the most important thing is to find the bright side I will say that at the very least this makes sleep — the one thing left in my life that brought me pure joy — even that much more appealing. Now I can go to bed hoping I never wake up, not even to stop the nightmares!

Anyway, here’s music. Enjoy.
