It's Just A Dream

Have you ever had a dream that you swore was real? I once had a dream that i had put fifty cents into my pants pocket so i could get a soda the next day. The next day, I was surprised that I had no change in my pocket. Edgar Allen Poe questioned that life could be "a dream within a dream"? Maybe he was right.

I think about this a lot. What if we are going through life in comatose? Not realizing anything that is going on to the depth as it occurs, but instead, we are numb to everything. Something important happens and we don't even recognize it for what it is.

How do we wake from this dream state? How do we stop being numb to life? Do you ever get tired of routine? I like taking backroads and driving the longer way home, just so there is something different. Do you ever challenge yourself like that? Are you waiting for the moment in your life where you wake up and find you have found a different world to live in?
