My Kaleidoscopic World

Spinning around inside my head. I can’t make head nor tails what is said. Bringing virtual reality to my bed. I must be dreaming or is it something I have read?

I could not sleep last night, after a weeks’ worth of traveling for business and pleasure, as I’m too tired to know what is real and what isn’t anymore.

Having slept in a variety of different beds this week I have come to realise that I need my own bed and an undisturbed sleeping pattern. The constant change of environment, the late nights and many things on my mind, I entered my dream world full of useless information that was mixed up and construed into a fantasy world of make believe.

Have I gone crazy, or is this normal and everyone is experiencing this once asleep, or do I need the ‘men in the white coats’ to lock me away in a room with padded walls and no windows?

Entering a magical world of adventure is also a great and thrilling place to be, as the ‘impossible, becomes possible’ and reality clashes with virtualness.

All barriers are accessible and dimensions of inner unconsciousness mix with the once normal thought patterns of consciousness, now blur my every movement.

With no real physical movement (that I’m aware of), the relentless virtual activities and sheer exhaustion, bring me out in a cold sweat and gasping for breath when I suddenly jolt up in bed wondering where the hell I am.

I think I will try to unwind and go to bed early tonight, less tired and less stressed, in my own bed and see if this makes a difference, and of course keeping off the cheese before bed time as this is also contributing to a restless night.

Although, I must say, these are the most magical dreams, exploring the ‘universe in your mind’ all without the aid of virtual reality technology.

Part of a programme I’m creating that explores the mind when in dream state.

If you experience magical dreams, it would be great to share so I know I’m pretty normal and why I believe different beds and location influence this, which is another story that adds yet another ingredient to the mix.

Good night and happy dreams……….
