Sleep: Dreams & Nightmares 13

Science of Sleep
Director: Michel Gondry

Alright, I can't explain. But, I'm pretty sure I did in fact, almost lose myself mentally back there somewhere and there's just no way to come back from that without feeling a wreck. Slowly, but surely I've been working my way back. I would share all of the creepy, but I'm certain that there's not ONE human out there that would believe me. Let's just chalk it up to sleep deprivation and call it a day. I have a whole bunch of new theories on lack of sleep and the types of neuroses' one can develop from that mess after a few interesting conversations. And I firmly believe that men and women handle lack of sleep so INCREDIBLY different. Anyway, this is a trailer from the movie "Science of Sleep." A very fascinating film about dreams, imagination and reality... and where they meet in between. OR not really? I don't know, I'm still slightly hallucinating here and there between catching up on ZZZ's. It's by one of my favorite directors, Michel Gondry, so of course I love it! enjoy. kisses. m.

Sunshine Through the Rain - Taken from Akira Kurosawa's Dreams

One of my favorite films. It contains several short stories and each has a unique quality. A dear friend was nice enough to share this film with me years ago, promising I would love it. I honestly could never thank him enough. This is just a very small piece to something larger and I can not possibly share more about the scene without giving away the story. I love stories, reading & hearing people's tales intrigues me greatly. I saw this film on the shelf this morning reminding myself that without my dreams, a vivid imagination, and tremendous life experiencing events there would be no more stories. There will be more... very soon. kisses. m.

Sleep: Dreams & Nightmares 11

In this place
Is really bad
Like being
In the bottom
Of a stream
Any minute now
I'm expecting
To wake up
From a dream
Miss so much
The softest touch
Like the grave
Of some child child
Who neither wept
Nor smiled
I'm hiding my faith
In the rain
I've been
Dreamin' of you
That's all I do
And it's
Driving me insane


Somewhere dawn
Is breaking
Light is streaking
Across the floor
Church bells
Are ringing
I wonder who
They're ringing for
Travel under any star
You'll see me
Wherever you are


The shadowy past
Is so vague and so vast
I'm sleeping
In the balance of pain
I've been dreamin' of you
That's all I do
But it's
Driving me insane


Maybe they'll get me
Maybe they won't
But whatever
It won't be tonight
I wish your hand
Was in mine right now
We could go
Where the moon is wide


For years
They had me
Locked in a cage
Then they threw me
Onto the stage
Somethings
Just last longer
Then you
Thought they would
And they never
Ever explain
I'm dreamin' of you
That's all I do
And it's
Driving me insane


Well
I eat when I'm hungry
Drink when I'm dry
Live my life
On the square
Even if the flesh
Falls off my face
It won't matter as long
As you're there


Feel like
A ghost in love
Underneath
The heavens above
Feel further away
Then I ever did before
Feel further
Than I can take
Dreamin' of you
That's all I do
But it's
Driving me insane


Everything in the way
Is so shy like the day
In queer and unusual form
Spirals of golden haze here
In there in a blaze
Like beams of light
In a star


Maybe you're here
Or maybe you weren't
Maybe you
Touched somebody
And got burned
The silent sun
Has got me on the run
Burning a hole
In my brain
I'm dreamin' of you
That's all I do
But it's

Driving me insane

"...his arms are around me and his tongue in my eyes..."

Coraline, Spiders and restless sleep. Just a little Something to help me from sleeping... but what of the dreams that pursue into the waking hours to torment your mind. M.

Sleep: Dreams & Nightmares 8

So I just came off seeing Star Trek. Who hasn't right? I've loved TNG since forever and it's a must watch. Anyhow with my headache still messing me up I was reminded of this episode. Brain drained from a straw. Lovely. And don't ya just love the cake from a person. It's very Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers...



Which is very Alice in Wonderland. I am in true shock if you've never seen it. I was totally vibing Tom Petty last week. Seems appropriate.

Dreams - Cranberries

Love the Cranberries. Always loved this song and the video always sends my imagination running on overload. Running around with a microphone. Finding true love in a tree. That's romantic! Interesting dreams? I love those crazy dreams. Especially the ones that are "oh so real". The ones that literally rip your heart out to leave when you wake up. Honestly, cause you can't get those ones back. Those are the best. The ones you long for and crave when you become addicted to sleep because hope with everything in your soul that it's true. "When sleep becomes addictive," It's time to wake up. kisses. m.

Sleep: Dreams & Nightmares 4

m, the dreams are not so bad
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

Oh Mom, the old man is telling me something
His eyes are wide and his mouth is thin
And I just can't hear what he's saying

Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

Oh Mom, the kids are playing in pennies
They're up to their knees in money
And the dirt of the churchyard steps

Oh Mom, that man he ripped out his lining
He tore out a piece of his body
To show us his "clean quilted heart"

Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

Oh Mom, the bird on the string is hanging
Her bones are twisting and dancing
She's fighting for her small life

Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

Oh Mom, I wonder when I'll be waking
It's just that there's so much to do
And I'm tired of sleeping

Her Morning Elegance / Oren Lavie

I swore I wasn't going to start anything new... But you can't help it when something finds you out and gets in that crack of your armor. Especially when you aren't looking for it and it's persistent. I love surprises that don't make the slightest bit of sense too. You can't always plan everything out, it's not like that in real life. Rules and reason are meant to be thrown out sometimes. ANYWAY... This video is adorable and I can't help but smile when I'm watching it. For all those vivid dreamers out there and those other people too. Break the rules and to hell with reason. Have fun and just go with it! Enjoy. Kisses. m.

Sleep: Dreams & Nightmares 2.

She only come to me in my dreams,
So sleep becomes routine,
Its not healthy, its what make you right
Its not healthy, its what make you

She only come to me in my dreams,
So sleep becomes addicting,
Its not healthy, its what make you right
Its not healthy, its what make you

Hold her strings to haunt my dreams,
Its not healthy, its what make you right
Its not healthy, its what make you

She goes straight,
straight for the deep end
Doesn't hesitate to dive right in
She goes straight,
straight for the deep end
Doesn't hesitate to dive right in
Be careful now,
Be careful now,
Be careful!

I wake up screaming!



I was originally going to start a new thing with sleep and dreams cause I wasn't sleeping right. When am I ever? At first I decided against it then I decided back again. For now I loved this pic and yes I have woken up screaming. Who hasn't? It's also a Betty Grable movie. I actually caught it on earlier this morning whilst awake and not sleeping. enjoy. kisses. m.

Careful what you wish for.

It's an understatement to say "I haven't been sleeping." YES, that's an understatement to say the least. Well, I'd been wishing and hoping for a good night's rest for the last week or so... AND finally I got exactly what I wanted and then some. More than I could handle to be exact. Long story short, I spent most XMAS day falling asleep everywhere! I was awake for less than 4 hours. It was so crazy! I would move around for about 15 min intervals at a time only to fall asleep. It was only when I'd awake again that I'd realize what happened. Eventually I gave up and went along for the ride. Anyway it was an interesting XMAS, that part I was awake for anyway. Here's something fun...
