Sweeten the Slumber
Posted on | May 25, 2004 | No Comments
It’s a funny thing, this sleepy dreaming thing.
A few nights ago I trembled with fear at the thought of closing my eyes and falling into the Sandman’s embrace. He is a periodically cruel guide through fears and night sweats sometimes, and his recent malicious streak had not gone unnoticed. But others slept near me, so I tried to rest my heart on the thought that I am truly safe. It doesn’t always work.
Reading freaky comics before bed = bad idea.
My mother has been in my dreams quite a bit lately. I am usually a child again, making crafts with her at our cracked kitchen table in the little house in Tampa. Last night she and I counted ghost bunnies that floated through the walls of my house. Everyone else in the house was sleeping (in the dream) and so we whispered and giggled at the translucent glowing forms as they bounced on nothing, springing strangely to and fro.
The waking end of sleeping is no longer fun. I was waking early when I first started with OUC. But I don’t panicat the thought of being late anymore, so I sleep till the alarm goes off. Damn thing interrupted the bunnies this morning.
I am going to actually get to decorating the bedroom sometime in the coming months. The bedframe has been retired (poor design) so we are on a mattress on the floor again. I like the feel of it, personally, but it looks like crap. So, time to get creative. First things first, I need better lighting. I wonder if Target is having a sale…..
