Dreams

So I was thinking...

Do all people dream? Or is dreaming something only allowed for those who are worthy of it? Am I worthy of it?

I haven’t dreamed since I was a little kid (eight, to be exact). Maybe dreaming is for the younger mind. Just a way for them to express their imagination. But then what about teens - besides me; they dream, too. Do they just have an overactive imagination?

And if sleep is what can make a dream, what does an insomniac do? They can never dream because they are without sleep. Or does it just seem that way? Without dreams, one would constantly live in a state of reality.

But I don't like reality all the time. Is that why I read so much? Because my mind is unable to create a fantasy land I subconsciously fill that need by reading about vampires and dragons and Fae?

Or is it because I don't get much sleep? Maybe, by the time I finally do find myself asleep, not just my body, but also my mind is tired, too? Too tired to create some fantasy land? Too tired to mirages of people chasing me with axes? Too tired to allow me to transcend into some other state of...being?

And what if I suddenly do start to dream? Would that mean that there was something wrong with me all along? Something wrong with me now?

Was there something I did differently? Something I didn't do?

I don't know, but wouldn't it be nice to find out?

How about you guys?

Do you dream? What do you dream about?

Do you think there's something wrong with me?
