Black Hole

“Do you want to hear about this crazy dream I had?” 

It’s a question I get asked a lot and am always curious to hear what one of my friend's brains came up with in the middle of the night. It’s also a question that I never find myself asking.

I can count on one hand the number of dreams I remember and even those I find hard to recall what actually happened. Very rarely do I have dreams and when I do I can’t remember what it was about in the slightest. It makes me feel like my mind is a big black hole where information is processed but then goes to die.
I can’t remember having the classic falling off a cliff dream or the showing up to school naked dream, teeth falling out, flying, and honestly, I feel like I’m missing out. I mean do I want to think I came to school with no clothes on? No, absolutely not. But I never get to wake up with the instant relief that it was all a dream and that it is actually 3 o’clock in the morning and I don’t have to be up for another three hours.

I think it’s so interesting to hear about other people's dreams and how they connect to what's happening in real life. Like how if you dream you’re being stung by bees it means you have toxic people in your life or how the naked dream means you have insecurities or how dreams about losing your teeth mean you have trouble communicating. Hearing about others' dreams can likely tell you what is going on in their life.

So what does this mean for me? I never have dreams. Does this mean I have no stress in my life, I know damn well that’s not true. The only thing I can find on Google is that not dreaming means you’re not sleeping very well but again, I feel like I get a full night's rest. This is what makes me feel like my mind is just a black hole. Where is all this stress and insecurity going if it’s not in my dreams? Is it just falling down the black hole?
