sometimes you want to keep dreaming, and sometimes you want to wake up. we might have the same conversation every day and it would be funny in a movie because we'd see ourselves as funny actors in reality and wonder if it was a true story or made up, but we continue to say the same things as if it's a new day, and hey now, it is. 

when i was young in deerfield we had a chronic sleepwalking neighbor. his family worried about him falling down the stairs or hurting himself with appliances and they were afraid to wake him up that he'd be so scared he'd have a heart attack or something he'd be scared to death but then he did fall down the stairs asleep and died. i remember that though i wonder if it was just a story. there's no way to confirm things in the present let alone the past whether you're awake or not but i know in my experience it's better to wake up in certain circumstances and in certain or uncertain dreams.
