Dream

I dream a lot.
 If you ever catch me sitting alone with my earphones on just glaring into space, I would probably be daydreaming. Dreaming about pleasant things. My night dreams have a variety though. In a few of them I’d just keep falling off buildings or cliffs, some of them are about being acelebrity, some of them are meaningful, some are scary and some I forget the second I get up.
 Since the past two and a half weeks I haven’t been going to the gym. I usually come back from school and jump to my bed to take a nap. I have to do this really quickly so that my mom doesn’t lecture me about not getting sleep at night because of the sleeping in the afternoon. This is the time when my ASD (afternoon sleep dream) happens (yeah I made that up). ASD’s are usually about casual things like the stuff I did in school that day or making some awesome- sauce future plans with my friends or about living in a TV show.
 Today I had the best day at school. It was international week so there was tons of food from several different countries. Obviously, I hogged. Since food and sleep compliment each other, I knew what I would be doing once I got home (yes I enjoy stupid, little things).
But today was different. I tucked myself into bed and shut my eyes but kept getting up again and again. It was kind of a sad situation for me because that was my favorite part of the day. I just lay aimlessly hoping time would make the miracle of sleep happen, but alas it did not. At this point I started thinking about stuff and realized I hadn’t removed my lenses. I wondered what would happen if I forget to remove them not just for the afternoon nap but also for the long night sleep. I would probably turn blind or something like that. I started to think about what my life would be like if I were to turn blind. My new camera would be of no use, I wouldn’t enjoy shopping anymore, I wouldn’t be able to see my family anymore, I wouldn’t be able to see people smile, I wouldn’t be able to do most of the things that I enjoy. I was scared. And there sure are blind people living on this planet, dealing with these things that I am so scared to even imagine.
I Feel so lucky to have eyes. This isn’t something I say everyday, not even close to something I would say. But it’s always good to feel grateful for things that you have. Not everyday do I feel so holistic, so this post is about being thankful for two things- my eyes and my mind’s eye that lets me dream.
