I've Been Dreaming...

Waking up after a dream can sometimes be a truly terrible feeling. There are those bad dreams you have, nightmares that you want to wake up from, that you're relieved when you wake up, even if you're crying, or panting.... you might be a little affected, but mostly you're relieved when you wake up from a nightmare to find out it's not true.

The dreams I'm talking about are the ones that you don't want to wake up to--the ones where your current problems or issues are solved, or the ones that bring back something from your past that you threw to the back of your mind. Those are the dreams that leave you with that terrible feeling. You dream you're in the arms of someone wonderful, just to wake up to find it being just your pillow. You dream you're being serenaded with a beautiful song just to walk up and cover your ears from that droning car alarm. Waking up to reality sucks. And what's worse is images of that dream will follow you around for the day, like faded memories. And you just have to remember to keep your mouth shut.
