My Guide through the Dark
I broke my neck in a diving accident on July 2nd, 2005, rendering me a quadriplegic. I spent six weeks lying flat on my back, two of which were spent eating and breathing through a tube. Shrugging my shoulders and blinking were my only voluntary movements.

Authenticity
The Ways of the Muse It’s not for the attention, although that most certainly affects me. It’s a form of self-expression. There is a world inside that has to be externalized, it wants to break out, it needs to break out. Otherwise, it will burn out inside and the creative wisp will suffocate.

We Are Basically Plants With Anxiety
Surely you have already read and heard a lot about the importance of sleep (mostly from me I hope) and why it is so important to treat sleep disorders seriously and treat them like actually take steps to fix your sleep, the subject would’ve already made you sleepy if you weren’t an insomniac. And, and, and you must’ve noticed by now, like come on, you love my stuff, you read it religiously, it’d be a little creepy if it wasn’t so flattering (I’m kidding, please don’t stop reading my stuff) anyway, that my last three posts concurrently talk about this one, beautiful, brilliant, blissful experience. Sloth, I mean sleep.

The Beginning
As you know I wrote a three-part story, The Beginning Part 1, 2 and 3. As mentioned in many of my other stories, I do not hide the fact that I myself am in therapy, as well as on the hunt for answers about myself, my heritage and my history and life. That being said, some of the information was jumbled, and mixed in my three-part story. I also had puzzle pieces missing, a lot of puzzle pieces missing.

My Sleep Resolution is My Dream Resolution
The countdown begins…10, 9, 8…is it really almost another new year? 7, 6, 5…wow it went by fast…4, 3, 2,1 and HAPPY NEW YEAR! My alarm goes off. It’s midnight in the year 2022. A whole new year has begun. I grab my notebook and a pen lying next to me and quickly jot down my dream before it’s forgotten. I think I was at a New Year’s party and there were ranch animals wearing party hats. We were inside a small house with giant windows. I remember looking at the moon, which was full and glowing a deep orange hue. We did the New Year’s countdown and then…what happened? I feel groggy. Am I half awake? Or am I half asleep? I smile and yawn, “Un rêve est la moitié d'une réalité,“ A dream is half a reality, my favorite quote that has inspired me since my late teens. I even had it tattooed on me. This year I decided to dive deeper into the dream world, the other reality. Since this was going to be my New Year’s resolution, I thought there would be no better way to kick it off than do just exactly that, dream. So, I prepared for sleep and set my alarm for midnight to awaken in the New Year with a dream. The trick I learned to remember dreams is to wake up during certain brainwaves of sleep. Einstein used to do exactly that. He would hold a metal ball so when he dozed off it would fall and wake him up. He had some of his most insightful dreams and ideas doing this. I didn’t have a metal ball, but I did have an iPhone alarm, which would work just the same. My dogs stirred next to me. Coyotes were howling in the distance and in response they howled back. It was then I remembered the last part of my dream. That’s right! Before I woke up all the ranch animals started howling at the moon once it was midnight and then the scene changed from inside the house to on top of a mountain landscape with fairy lights decorating it as if it was covered in twinkling stars. I noticed I was hungry and looked up at the moon, which had turned into a delicious looking orange ready to be peeled. I floated up to take a bite, but as I got closer the orange grew enormous in size and engulfed me. It was beating as if it was a heart, and I was pulsating with it. I closed my eyes, and all became dark. I was a child in the womb of the Mother Earth. I was warm and comfortable here. I wanted to stay here forever. But then I saw a small bright white light straight ahead. It called to me in angelic song. I felt pulled towards it. The light became brighter and brighter and came closer and closer until I was completely emerged in it. The sound of howling filled my ears. Then I woke up. I finished writing down the last part of my dream, stretched, and nestled deeper into the layers of warm blankets sinking further into the loving embrace of my bed. I yawned. Time to go back to sleep. I would analyze my dream in the morning to figure out what my subconscious was trying to tell me.
