DREAMS

I think I finally understood why we  love seeing dreams (I'm not talking about nightmares). It's because in dreams the weight of the past doesn't drag us down, and the worries of tomorrow graciously fly over our heads without disturbing our present moment. In our dreams we are truly present, and that's what makes them so blissful, even if the most mundane things are happening in them. Usually, we are able to preserve the feeling of presentness for a couple of minutes after we have woken up - try to remember this feeling, and every morning train your brain to stay in that state for longer and longer. Hopefully, one day you will be able to stay in that state until it's time to go to bed again.

One morning, I woke up, and for three seconds I had no idea where I was or who I was, with no concept of the past or the future - the small room I woke up in was my entire Universe and those three seconds were my entire life. Needless to say, those short three seconds were the happiest three seconds of my life. I remember being crushed, as if a train ran over me, when the memory came back to me.
