Monday Quote: You’re Awake

Legend says that when you can’t sleep at night it’s because you’re awake in someone else’s dream.

You’re restless. Tossing and turning, one can’t seem to get comfortable. Although it’s silent, and the only bit of light is from the moon, you just can’t seem to drift away. Sleep isn’t here yet. You might not know where it is, but Sleep itself knows, and it’s hiding until that other person’s dream you’re awake in says it’s okay to come out…

Wow, that’s so interesting…especially because I couldn’t get to sleep last night. Usually I’m pretty much “out cold” a few moments after I lay my head on the pillow…but last night I couldn’t sleep… sounds like an intriguing idea for a story… who’s dream was I in? http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWeaverOfWords

This is honestly beautiful. Personally, I think it’s worth it to stay awake if it means brightening up someone else’s dream.
