Dreams

"Awake, shake dreams from your hair my child...." those are just a few lines from Jim Morrison. I no longer dream, in fact I can't remember the last time I had a dream. I fear that I may be suffering from dream deprivation. Every once in a while I will be in the middle of doing something and then suddenly think to my self, why does this seem so familiar?. After a few minutes of debating with myself I usually dismiss the idea of De-ja-vu simply because logic holds that you have to dream in order to experience De-ja -vu. Some say that it's "the royal road to the unconscious" others like Blake say there is no road, just a number of risky tracks into the unknown. I particularly like Blake because the way he embraces dreams and the idea of the unconscious.
"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees things thru' narrow chinks of his cavern"
William Blake.
