i wish i could remember my dreams. why can i remember embarrassing moments from forty years ago, and go completely blank on my dreams of last night? i did a lot of work in my dreams, i think, only to forget them. is forgetting natural to dreaming? is the work i did still done, or undone on waking? and how would i know. then again i often feel like i've been dreaming awake, and maybe dreaming is continuous by night and day. i often feel like there's something i need to remember, or maybe just something i need to ponder. is this it? it's a need for reality that is missing in the waking world of simulation that sends me dreaming.
