Dreaming Through Time

I often find myself thinking about my thought process. What I mean by this, is that no matter how hard I try to control my thoughts, they have a mind of their own. My mind wanders from one thing to the next without my conscious awareness.


The brain never requires rest. It is constantly firing signals to the rest of the body. Most people are unconscious of the continuous activity of the human brain.
Even while sleeping--when the rest of your body is at rest--the brain is still processing information. This is when you dream. 

I am beyond fascinated with day-dreaming and night-dreaming. 



 There is an irrelevance of time during sleep. In other words, when we are asleep, or not conscious, the time does not persist, only memories do. This distortion of time can be easily observed by just about anyone who ever attempted to think about their own dreams.



there are so many tictoc 
clocks everywhere telling people 
what toctic time it is for 
tictic instance five toc minutes toc 
past six tic

Spring is not regulated and does 
not get out of order nor do 
its hands a little jerking move 
over numbers slowly

we do not 
wind it up it has no weights 
springs wheels inside of 
its slender self no indeed dear
nothing of the kind.

(So,when kiss Spring comes 
we'll kiss each kiss other on kiss the kiss
lips because tic clocks toc don't make 
a toctic difference 
to kisskiss you and to 
kiss me)
-e.e. cummings-
