On Dreams and Reality
Some Thoughts After Reading Neil Galman's Sandman Series


Have you had one of those dreams wher nthing makes sense? Where evrything you do is taken backwards and used the opposite way?

You have? I know you have. Everyone has.

I have always wondered what it would be like if the dream world was reality, and reality was the dreamworld. But then... when you think of it... what would the difference be? Between reality and the dreamworld, I mean.

Wouldn't they be one and the same? Reality would be a dream and the dream, a reality.

Makes no sense to you, does it? Nah, didn't think so....

You know.... maybe life is just a dream. A very long dream in which we all re a part of \. And when we die, we wake up just to find out it never really happened. We are totally different persons living totally different lives.

I don't know....

Maybe I'm just crazy... or all the stress I'm going through is finally getting to me. It just... makes absolutely no sense. Why have good and bad dreams? Why have dreams of pleasure, and why have dreams of pain?

Is a dream really what we REALLY want to happen? Or is it what we fear?

Maybe one day...

One day, I'll ask the fates themselves what a dream is. And what seperates it from reality. Why we wake up cold and sweaty from a nightmare... And why we wake up excited when we have a good dream. What the answer will be... I have no clue. And there is no possible way to know.

But...

Until then...

There is only one thing I can do...

Live...

Whether it is a dream or not. It is still life. And I'm going to live it to the fullest. And when that day comes... all my questions will be answered. And I won't have to wonder...

Because...

Because...


I'll know.
