Dreams aren’t reality Some say everything that’s too good to be true isn’t what it really is, now is it? Some people daydream a lot— in too deep into the dream one starts to think that they are actually there. See, dreams aren’t reality. Some of us wish they were, but life wasn’t fixed that way.

See, too deep into a deep sleep can be harmful or maybe deathly. Remember the old saying, when someone is falling in their sleep whether from a building or a cliff and while you’re sleeping and fall off your bed and hit the floor you die. It never happened to me personally and I hope it never does. In that case, dreams can be reality. You know, on the other side of this dream thing, if you’re living right, you have nothing to worry about, right? So remember the Ten Commandments: Thou shall respect thy parents…. So the next time your mother asks you to eat all of your vegetables, do so, OK? So sweet dreams And good night.

Staying put right here right now I usually wake up with an urge of any kind— “the urge” meaning a drug of any kind. Feeling, tasting, in a zone out of mind and body, for a brief minute or five, at the least. What’s come over me? I’m not even doing a drug of any kind. Am I still a user? Not physically, but mentally, or is my brain telling me that I have a choice?—Wow! It’s hard staying put right here, right now. Staying put, right here, right now. I’m overflowing with many thoughts in my mind. Am I on the verge of a breakdown? Forgive me, mind, for I sometimes don’t know what I want to do, but for now I’m staying put right here, right now.
