Life is more real than a dream.

I like the moments just before I fall asleep. Because my mind becomes clear. Maybe because I'm relaxed. I become light. In body and spirit. I begin to drift. And I can go almost anywhere. Even to Paradise. Which always is a good choice. Sure beats hell. I've had an occasional nightmare. In which I visit hell. But I tend to gravitate to Paradise. The land of sweet dreams. Maybe I'm in a hypnotic state. Mermerized. And that transports me to another world. Another dimension. Sort of an out-of-body experience. I'm not sure that I'm still in my body when I'm in a dream. It seems like a different world. I'm able to move out and about. Great distances. In what seems a split second. I'm able to meet other people. Even dead people. But they seem very much alive. Some people suggest that life is just a dream. If it is, life is different from my nocturnal dreams. Life is more real. --Jim Broede
