Ever have one of those incredible dreams where everything in your sleep is perfect?
Maybe you've developed some kind of super human strength and you're the world's best crime fighter, or a new found confidence with people of the opposite sex and all of a sudden you have an endless line of opportunities to meet and impress new people who think you're amazing?
And then you wake up to the bitter disappointment of what your real life actually is!
Now your real life may not actually be that disappointing, but in comparison to that of the world's greatest superhero, no matter how big the burden of keeping your identity a secret is, your life would suck.
And those dreams you're having, where your brain has you believing you're something special are just cruel.
Our first thoughts in the morning shouldn't be sad ones of the realisation we're just "average"..
The nightmare is underrated.
I want to have nightmares every night so when I wake up I can be happy with the average life I'm living.
My first thoughts in the morning shouldn't be "Dammn, I'm not actually spiderman." they should be positive ones like: "Pheww, I didn't just fall off a cliff, that was lucky".
Next time you have a nightmare where something terrible has happened to you, be grateful. The realisation that it was all 'just a dream' when you wake up will have you in a better mood for the rest of the day!!

'Half glass empty' attitude aside, thats a very interesting perspective. And puts a good spin on all those crappy nightmares. Next time I wake up half frightened to death that my best friends died or ive just seen someone been hit by a car, I'll look forward to that feeling of relief knowing that my life really isn't that bad.
ReplyDeletevery well put. i shouldnt have to feel disappointed waking up to start the day knowing im stuck in the same routine day in day out.
