Dreams

I've recently been inspired by sleep, dreams, and nightmares. Lately, my imagination has been reeling in my slumbering state. My dreams, which I typically don't remember, have become increasingly vivid and seem to remain with me after I wake up. This has been happening every night for a few weeks now, and every morning I feel like the recollection of my dreams becomes progressively realistic and detailed, almost to the point of lucidness. Lucid dreaming has always fascinated me. Apparently, a strong ability to recall dreams is the first step to being able to lucid dream. I think I'm going to start a dream journal to track the nightly journeys I embark in my mind.

I see the crystal visions
Dreams - Fleetwood Mac
Now here I go again
I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Glow, melt and flow
Sleeping Lessons - The Shins
And glow
Glow, melt and flow
Eviscerate your fragile frame
And spill it out in the ragged floor
A thousand different versions of yourself

I used to sleep at night
We Used To Wait - Arcade Fire
I used to write
I used to write letters 
I used to sign my name
I used to sleep at night
Before the flashing light settled deep in my brain

A good ol' fashion nightmare
Good Ol' Fashion Nightmare - Matt & Kim
Ahh ahhh ahh ahh
Like a good ol’ fashion nightmare
Ahh ahh ahh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahh

My arms reach up as you go down
Sleep Tonight - Stars
We dont want to sleep tonight
Still young like that I count the lines
Beside your mouth that smiles now
My arms reach up as you go down
With buried heads we both forget
All of the past and its regret
Wind picks up, the window shakes
We wont hear the morning break

It was like fire around the brim
Sleepyhead - Passion Pit
And you said
It was like fire around the brim
Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
You gave fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were an inch from the edge of this bed
I drive you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead

It's never quite as it seems
Dreams - The Cranberries
And oh, my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me
