Dreams are amazing.
They allow us to explore the fantastical lands of our imagination.
As fast as our heart streams - our reality conforms.
Dreams are multidimensional in nature.
I have had dreams that I cannot describe to you in words.
I have experienced multiple lifetimes within a single dream - once.
My dreams are colourful - and I suppose I engage in a higher type of mind sex with other entities.
What could be more pleasurable?
In the highest realms of existence - pure knowledge is the elixir of ecstasy.
But is their such a thing as dreaming too much?
Lately I have been caught in a cycle of 'up late at night - sleeping all day'.
I have been telling myself that if I'm still up past 1 or 2 then I have to stay up.
The problem is I always fall asleep around 5 am.
I feel a little tired and by that time my bed is so soft that I feel like i'm floating.
I fall asleep. I dream.
I wake up, and I fall back asleep.
Usually I wake up around 3 pm.
It has nothing to do with not having a job ATM because I have tons of things to do.
It is more so the fact that my dreams are so appealing .
The fact that I can escape the seemingly mundane world at that moment - right before I drift - is a very comfortable proposition.
Or is it an excuse?
An excuse to give up on the day and "find another place to live tomorrow", until tomorrow becomes the end of the month and I have one or two days left to find a place?
If this is the case - that dreaming is affecting my life inadvertently - then is it not safe to say that dreaming is a possible addiction?
An addiction can develop to any substance or activity, but addictions tend to develop only in those which under normal circumstances make us feel good or happy. An individual may have several addictions, but not “all” addictions. It is not the substance or activity that is ultimately the problem, but our relationship to it. Recovery involves changing that relationship.
The problem is, there is no "AA" for the dreaming addicted.
So how to change this?
Certainly it only makes me insane to try the same thing repeatedly yet expect different results.
This is exactly what I've been doing.
Certainly the objective here is to try new things until something sticks.
I suppose the solution is minimal change. Taking small repeated actions to accomplish the big goal of waking up in the morning and taking on the day.
Surely it is very simple.
Go to sleep at a decent time - MAKE SURE I WAKE UP BEFORE 10 AM.
The problem is I always just turn off my alarm clock and climb back into bed.
Trying something new.
My hypothesis of how to tackle this problem is thus explained:
Given the fact that my alarm DOES wake me up - then the reason I am falling back asleep is not because I can't stay up, but rather, I am at that moment ignorant of the severity of the situation.
When I wake up I am like any human being - I can't remember shit.
All I am thinking about is going back into that dream state.
I am being pulled back into that state - for I am not yet fully awake.
Writing this post has given me an idea.
On the morrow, when I awaken due to my alarm - which sounds like a dying animal - I will have a note on my desk reminding me of why I need to wake up.
Thus when I awaken to turn off my alarm and go back to sleep, I will see the note and be inspired to change my life cycle by NOT going back to sleep.
