Stream of Consciousness

In the A.M.
I wasn't supposed to be up this late, you know. I said I was going to come to bed. I told you I would. I was just going to have a bedtime snack, and then I was going to snuggle in with you. I know we're supposed to go to your mother's in the morning. I'm to wake up early with you, but instead of sleeping soundlessly beside you, or even staying awake and listening to your snores, I am in the other room, in front of the computer, typing away, grateful that you are a heavy sleeper.

Could You Be Mine?
I can't believe we are standing in the same alley, again! I am sure I climbed into bed at midnight, ready for my sleep; but no!

I Dream Of You In The Night. Content Warning.
It's been five years since you passed away, and I have had the same dream every night. We sit up here on the ledge surrounded by candlelight. You wrap your arms around me, and say "I love you," then you kiss me, and you are gone.

My Bed of Nails
Some nights, when I lay in bed with only the streetlamp outside my window to illuminate my thoughts, and the whirring sound of the ceiling fan to awaken my demons, I beg for reprieve.

Night Terrors. Content Warning.
I watched myself die last night; I died on Tuesday as well. As a matter of fact, I have watched myself die 17 times in the last month. Each one more gruesome and violent than the last. The first couple times I died, as you would expect, were really unnerving. I could see what was happening before it happened and I began to frantically yell and scream at my dreaming self, to wake up and watch out. I flailed around anxiously warning myself to "stay out of that room" or "look behind you." Twice, I did my best to stop myself from drinking from random or abandoned bottles that I knew had been poisoned, and every time, I helplessly watched in horror, as I disregarded my cries and died.

Beyond the Threshold
Ah, to feel anything other than pain. I am unsure if that fills me with hope or terror for the future. The shots of piercing discomfort, the dull aches and the debilitating reverberations through my body have become my new normal. I am unsure I know how to feel beyond the misery of the jitters and sharp shooting cramps. When waking up, it is empty and lonely again. Perhaps this is how inmates on a long stretch inside feel when approaching their release date? When they know the routine, the security blanket of supervision preventing them from acting out will be gone.

Some scientific hypotheses shed more light on the spiritual world
Different perspectives on the spiritual world Common understanding Each person's understanding and perception of the spiritual world is different. People without a scientific mind think of the spiritual world as a world associated with demons and gods. Demons and spirits can bless and harm people, and live in other dimensions interwoven with the world in which we live. When such people burn incense to worship their ancestors, it is because they think that their ancestors will bless them. This person's act of burning incense is considered an act of religious belief.

Escape to the Glass Egg in the Sky
Every night as I drift off to the land of nod, I hope beyond hope that I will have one of two of my frequented dreams. The scenarios change, but the core of the dreams remain steadfast. Unyielding a manner that brings me comfort and joyous anticipation. The mere thought of them makes me giddy. I cannot touch them, cannot photograph them - just experience them, which almost makes them more real than real life because there is nothing to distract me from them. I'm completely entrenched in this reality whilst I am unconscious; dreaming.
