open your eyes

It happens and its like a dream…  you have no idea where it comes from or how it even got there.  You dont understand it and no amount of words can explain it.  Its hard to control it and even harder to express it…

Have you ever had a dream, and woken up and wished so badly you could go back to sleep and let the dream keep going?  You lay there with your eyes shut tightly hoping… wishing… to slip off into that other world, where anything is possible.  Where the things you want most can happen, where you can be anything you’ve ever imagined and do anything. Even the impossible.

I wish so badly that our eyes didnt have to be shut to make our dreams into a reality.

I woke up today in a dark room.  With the shades pulled down and my bedroom door shut the only thing letting me know it was morning was the blue numbers flashing from on my desk.  I layed there in darkness pondering the possible meanings of my dream I had just awoken from.  I wasnt there long before I had to get up and get on with my day.  Within a few minutes my dream escaped my mind and I couldnt even remember what it was about.

After work I came home and headed for my bedroom.  The day hadnt been the greatest and with that in my mind I fell asleep. An hour later my alarm went off… and I layed there once again, pondering my dream.  Is it normal for someone to have the same dream twice? Twice in one day?  And now I cant stop thinking about my dream and what it could mean.

I’m not the first person to have a "dream".  Someone once said, "I have a dream…" and became very famous for it.
I hope I’m not the first person to strive to make my dreams a reality, either…

because anything is possible… even when ours eyes are open.
