This past week it seems I can not get enough sleep, even though I am sleeping anywhere from 7 1/2 to 9 hours each night. I wonder how someone would go about getting a job sleeping. It's a job I could do extremely well, at the moment.
Or maybe I should try to set a new record for the length of time sleeping. I think I might need more practice for that, however. There was a man named Rip Van Winkle who supposedly slept for a hundred years, but, again supposedly, he had some help. It seems he made a couple of supernatural beings angry, and they put him to sleep for a hundred years. Not knowing any supernatural beings off hand, I don't think I could get that kind of help.
One thing that happens when I do sleep a lot, is that I have a lot of strange dreams. Some of them are so vivid (seem very real), that when I wake up I believe the dream is really happening, and I am still in it. It reminds me of the story of a man who leads two lives. One while he is awake, and a completely different one, in a different world, and in a different city, while he sleeps.
So which life is real, or are they both real?
So, am I a man dreaming while I sleep, or am I dream dreaming I am awake?
Sorry, I couldn't resist that one. The actual quote goes, "Am I a man dreaming I am a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming I am a man?" That was from a famous philosopher who had a dream he was a butterfly.
Enough. Time to go to sleep. Sweet dreams...
