Wow… it’s already 11 my time. It’s be a thoroughly exhausting day. Not like I accomplished much work on the paper front, but exhausting none-the-less. I am TIRED. I should be in bed. But after last night’s dreams, I’m a little nervous to sleep.

While dreaming is a strong indication that you got a good night’s rest, can I just point out that it’s an exercise I could live without? It would have been so much better if somewhere in my DNA there was a strand that indicated “this unit does not need to dream… skip dreaming!” I mean, dreaming on a metaphorical level is fine… please, by all means “HAVE A DREAM”… Even me with NO ambition has a dream. But “dreaming” is a whole different reality, or sub-reality or altered reality. I can’t stand it. My usual way of coping is to not remember the dream. However, I’m under such stress that I am remembering things in graphic detail. I would like to take this opportunity to suggest to the powers in charge of dream land that I am beat and need a good night’s rest sans the strange and disturbing symbolic exchanges. I really don’t think that is too much to ask.
