I Drink A Lot of Water
Today is the sort of day for gouging out one’s own eyes.
Up since 6 a.m., my eyes have a veneer of thin sandpaper in them. Maybe if I rub them enough, I will soon see more clearly.
Why does pain produce clarity?
(I promise to return to your regularly scheduled, more rigorously scholastic blogging when my own narcissism takes a pee break. That should be any minute now…)

the other night i had a dream five times in a row. each time i had to decide if it was a dream, and each time decided it was, so i went back to "sleep." only to start dreaming the same thing, and repeat the whole process.
so what do you do when the illusion is so insistent?
hmm?
When the illusion is so insistent, I simply recognize that I'm always dreaming, even when I am supposedly "awake". Strangely enough, accepting that is a form of awakening that doesn't require escaping the dream, simply realizing that it is all a dream.
aha!
or you realize that it was a persistently "awake" state.
or they do.
Well, there is a difference between the dreamer who is more awake and the dreamer who is more asleep: the dreamer who is awake knows that she is dreaming, and the dreamer who is asleep thinks she is awake.
In other words, the sleeping dreamer takes the dream at face value, takes it to be "real"; the waking dreamer realizes it is a dream and can find a deeper awakeness in the fact that she is always dreaming.
