A world-class dreamer.

I like feeling tired.  It’s a signal. For me to go to bed. And sleep. Even if I weren’t tired. I’d still go to bed. And read a book. Until I fall asleep.  Not because the book is boring. But because I’m relaxed. Enough to become mesmerized. And that invariably opens the door to dreamland. Makes me wonder. If I start dreaming. Even before I fall asleep. Could be. That gives me a sense that I can suggest the topic of my dream. Better that than risking a nightmare. Come to think of it, I haven’t had a nightmare. For a long, long time. Only sweet and pleasant dreams. Maybe that’s why I don’t mind feeling tired. It creates the opportunity to become a world-class dreamer. --Jim Broede
