Dreaming for Some Reason.
I dreamt of him
I dreamt of you
Now
It's been three
A rarity
But lately
They are almost expected
And so
I cannot sleep
Last time I swear I felt your skin
So soft
Cupped in between my hands
Before
You laid out of reach
All I could do
Was watch you sleep
And the first
The first dream he was crying
Asking why
And how many times
How many people
And I cared not enough
To answer.

Author's Note
I DONT DREAM. I did as a child and a little in my teens. I quit my job a week ago and drove my ass home and ever since then, I've had three dreams in double that amount in days. I'm finally chilling out in life cause, idk I'm growing tf up in a sense, but these dreams don't reflect anything I'm even thinking about. Or at least reflect nothing I've found worth pondering in my waking days. I don't like not being able to control my brain -_-

Dreams can be defined as the mind letting off steam. The trigger may have been dormant for years (you have mentioned elsewhere troubled background), perhaps doing something unprecedented and courage taking like quitting the job may have disinhibited the mind and given it a freedom to dream.

So many things have disinhibited my mind in the past week or so. I am living proof that a person can change in a single moment. I take your comment seriously, poet, as it resonates with many of the musings I have had on the subject. I can run intellectual circles all day, but reality seems to point towards freed inhibitions being the culprit of this surge. I wish it was just the job, but your point is true just the same.
