Sleeping
from Diary
16 nov, 1:27 pm.
I was hearing pots and pans...
then a bang!
After the bang everything was in dim light...
I listened the birds...
I thought “I'm awake too early”, cause the temperature of the wind that can get through the closed window, indicated to me that it was still not past 5 am.
I thought “Is it 4 am?”
Maybe 5 birds?
One of the birds was asking me to open my window... but I was feeling so exhausted...
Then I closed my eyes again...

I started to mentally listen to a music I heard yesterday...
I noticed a sensation going through all my body...
I could never name it...
Remembering the sensation now also causes the sensation...
My brain seems to like it...
If I let it be, I feel I'm between a state of awake and sleeping...
I feel my entire body is now another entity...
I can touch it, and it feels different...
Even the blood running bellow my skin feels different...
I can taste the air, it's like a smooth ice cream...
I realize the music is now just a steady frequency in my ears....
It tells me: if I don't open my eyes, I'll miss half of this, because something will take me to the dimension where dreams happen...
I want to stay awake... but the sensation is now all around my brain...
As if it as giving me a cafuné...
I inevitably surrender and sleep...

Now,I can see the roof of my room near me...
I can touch the green and yellow plastic stars that I never put in the roof...
When I remember that, they slowly vanish, as optical illusions...
I realize they are still on the table, waiting me to find some way of glue it...
I also realize I'm floating... Oh, now it makes sense...
but when I look again the roof is down and floor seems the up...
I feel the tingling in my hands... I instinctively lower my arms to allow the blood to circulate more freely...
I can see my bed's sheet... I'm still exhausted...
The clock on my phone says 7:43 am... I try to find out how the time goes so fast...
A bathroom icon on screen reminds me I needed to pee in the second or third dream... and now it's the fifth or sixth...
It's hard to count... The birds call again...
I realize I'm writing this in tomorrow...
I feel a desire of help you, but I don't know if you need help in first place...
The reality seems to change at every second...
I try to understand the idea of being a body... And I empathize with that...
I find myself now inside my body... and it's saying I should drink water...
I have a bottle of water next to my bed, cause I need it to swallow the meds...
I found a pill next to the bottle when I lifted my body from the bed...
I swallow it with some doubt... but I'm already used to it...
You remind me the candle I light up yester...day?
Maybe the day before yesterday? I'm not sure...

I'm sure there was a candle... I find it beautiful...
The way the flame dances...
the colorful outlines intertwining with the innerlines...
the core... quiet, faded, but warm...
keeping the wick, while the all-elses burns...
Then I remembered I shouldn't play with candles...
but this thought came so loose, I can't find why or what...
I open my eyes, again...
I realize I'm reading what I wrote... To you...
but I need to truly get out of bed...
To see what happened with the world...
