Dreams are a weird thing. Dreams are often so real that we don't realize we are dreaming until we wake up. Some dreams are good, and some are bad. Some people can control their dreams, and are self aware during dreams, and others are not. Most of my life I have wished that I was able to be in control of my dreams while they were happening. When I dream, I feel very much not in control of my "life" (or dream as it were). When I was younger, I had a reoccurring nightmare about the bad guy from the movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". You know... the guy with the really long nose? Yup, that one. I used to dream that he was in my room while I was going to bed, and then my parents would come in to say goodnight, and look right at him. He was invisible to everyone but me, so they just turned and closed the door on their way out. This left me alone with the long nosed dude. I always woke up with him approaching me, and nothing bad ever happened. I was however always terrified when I woke up, and still will not watch that movie for fear of him bringing back the same feelings of terror.
I haven't had one of those nightmares in a long time, but I have been having a different type of bad dream. For a few months now, I have been having great dreams with friends and people that matter to me. In these dreams I have a lot of fun, do amazing things, and everything seems to go perfectly. The worst part of these dreams, is waking up. Something about having a dream where everything goes just the way I want it to, and then realizing when I wake up that absolutely nothing has happened is a bit sad.

If I could, I would never sleep, and just keep living my life straight on through till the end. Sleep seems to me to be a waste of time. I know my body needs it, but what if i didn't? Imagine all the things we could get done with that much more time every day! My philosophy used to be "I can sleep when I am dead", and I would stay up late every night until I fell asleep due to exhaustion.
