Sleep and the ART of Day Dreaming

A day that feels like it's dragging can only be confirmed when you realise that you actually sleep for that milli second everytime you blink. I have been getting that feeling ever since i had my lunch here at work. The oil of the 'baturas' is still floating in my stomach causing rather uncomfortable burpy feelings. I do try and catch that sleep but i know i can't because office is just too noisy and i'll get a head ache if i try to sleep now. But i can't help it. When you dont enjoy what you do, you do tend feel sleepy. Just like the zillion classes we all must have slept through when we were in school or college. I think sleep is one of the most important things in my life. I think when you sleep you get to do things that you could only 'imagine in your dreams'. And the best part is when you learn to manipulate your dreams you can truly enjoy them. Over the years i have learnt to do that. Everytime i sleep i hope that i dream because then i know i can do what i want. The best ones are the ones that i fly in. Though most of my dreams are quite scary. I kinda have very movie type dreams with low lighting and villains and scaryness. But then i do have some nice adventerous ones too. Like me singing and playing tennis and trekking. And the best is when you get to really do your own thing knowing its just a dream.
One of the best things i like to do is stare at a fixed object and day dream. But then when i realise that im dreaming with my eyes open i get all confused and then i cant day dream anymore because them i am constantly thinking about the fact that it shouldn't be possible to open your eyes and dream. But i can do it. And i hate it when i realise that i should be able to do it. People wonder why at times im in my own world but the fact is that i cant see or hear anyone when im in that mode. Its something thats quite nice, that gets irritating when you realise that your eyes are open.
Another thing that happens to me is that if i stare at something for a long time or if im tired, i start seeing things as if they are moving away from me, everything seems smaller. Its a weird feeling and i only know one other person who shares this weirdness like i do. Its really weird, its as if everything starts moving away. But thats when i realise i need to sleep.
I guess i need to now.

"Sleep, Sleep, Sleep,
Comes to you while your awake?
Close your eyes,
and lose control automatically.
Then Dream..."
