Why do our dreams tease us?

[Lucian]

We go to sleep at night, have a great dream, only to wake up and realize that none of it happened. Then we're forced back down to reality and recognized that our lives suck. I hate dreams. They show me all the things I'll never have, or possibly could've had. Sometimes I wish I would never dream, because then when I wake up, I won't ever have to be let down.

I apologize for the rant. I just woke up. Gah. Now I'm going to be focusing on something trivial for the rest of the day (yes, I had a great dream last night).

1. Your dreams are you talking to yourself.

Listen. You're telling yourself something.

3. I already know I want to fly. I wish my dreams would tell me something useful instead

stock market tips would be nice

4. Or lottery numbers.

What am I telling myself?

2. When I wake up...

...and realize I didn't fall from the world's tallest skyscraper, after all, I count my blessings. :)

7. I hate to dream too, but not because I have such great dreams.

They are usually so long and convoluted that I wake up with a headache. I wish I knew the trick for getting a good night's sleep, dream-free.
