Dreams Do Come True

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined."
--Henry David Thoreau

It is my hope and purpose that this short post brings to its readers the hope for something greater, a light in the darkness, a moment of respite. Yes, indeed, after years of misery I had a good experience just yesterday, and I wish to share it with the world!

As I awoke for my thankless, soul-sucking job, the glimmer of a fading dream played itself in my mind. Apparently, in my dream, I had skipped work for the day, got plenty of sleep, and felt very satisfied with myself. I lurched myself out of bed, while the usual dread of work began to creep upon me.

And then... then there was a new mid-day dawn upon my mind... I could realize my dream. And so, I called in sick, and skipped work. I then spent the day doing laundry and cleaning and re-organizing my room... I felt satisfied and relieved. My dream had come true!

[Of course this causes me to wonder about my other dreams. There was the one where I was listening to Tyler and Jared talk about insurance sales. That was boring but totally do-able. There was the one where I went to school in my underwear... again do-able, but maybe not the best dream to use. Of course there's the one with the naked twins and that one where I battle the sea serpent... both those would take some doing. I'll keep thinking.]
