To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub

To sleep--perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause.

  1. I wish they did replay our lives. I just dreamt I got a million SEK as a graduation gift. (And then I used it to pay off loans, because dream me is boring.)

  2. I wrote off Freud the morning after my first wet dream. The dream censorship feature was definitely disabled for my account!

    The replay is not about MY everyday life though. Often as not, my dream self has family, friends, school or work that are fully fleshed out but utterly different from my real life ever as well as from the other dreams. As if I am accidentally intercepting the dreams of a complete stranger.

    Like this morning I was a Christian high school senior, verbally defending a girl who had converted to Islam. In waking life I don't know the school or any of the people involved, including the protagonist.

    I love having a body, but I've had so many of them in my lifetime that I'm pretty jaded as to the particular type, age and sex. I think the weirdest was a dark magnetically levitating pyramid a bit over a meter high. Replay that, science.
