Upon awakening after a gathering I ask myself…Am I the only one who’s awake? Are they still asleep? It seems that everyone around me is fast asleep except me. Do they know that they are dreaming? Hmm, I wonder what they are dreaming of. Do they know that their dream world is nothing but a generic script that they choose to follow without question? Even when I’m asleep, at least I do so lucidly, controlling the outcome of my dreams. Do those who are sleeping know of lucid dreaming? Do they not control their fate while engulfed in the dream state? It seems to have come so natural to me, well—I have been called different all my life. I wish someone would awaken; I’m getting bored not having anyone to talk to. Should I try to awake them by ringing a bell or clock alarm? It’s been said that people never really want to get up unless they want to; they have a habit of ignoring an alarm or hitting the snooze button. Better yet I think I will just wait until someone wakes up on their own, that way they are in good spirits and ready to start their day. They say “the early bird catches the worm,” but it sure would be nice to have someone to hunt with for a change if you know what I mean. Looking upon a sleeping person seems so odd, they seem so calm and serene on the exterior; meanwhile, they are probably suffering tremendously in a nightmare. Wait, are they twitching and moaning? Yes, it must be a nightmare; the seemingly tranquil are starting to look a little disturbed. Hopefully they will realize that they are dreaming by recognizing some object being out of place, that’s what I did to cut my nightmare short. Could they be medicated? Could they have self-medicated with pills or alcohol—drugs maybe? There is no telling these days everyone medicates in some way. A slight shake does not seem to help anyone awaken, oh well, I tried. Maybe they want to sleep their life away. I must admit I too have fallen into many a slumber, just letting time pass me by, but never in such a deep sleep. Who am I to try to awaken them anyway? It would probably be in vain anyway. Maybe I should just go back to sleep with everyone else. Why should I be the only one awake? No, I’ll just stay up and start my day; everyone has the same repetitive themed dreams anyway plus I seem to have so much clarity right now. By the time everyone awakens they will wonder how I’ve gotten so much done in such a short amount of time, easily stated, you can get so much more done when your awake than when you’re sleeping. When they awaken I’m sure they will ask “Why didn’t you awaken me earlier?” I will simply say “I tried, but you were not ready to awaken?”
