Insomnia

I have not posted recently which I have no excuse for.  The only excuse that I can offer is Insomnia.  And for those of you who do not know what insomnia is, than your lucky.  Insomnia is when you lay in bed for hours upon hours but you cannot fall asleep.  Your body is tired and dead but your mind is racing.  I cannot seem to relax my mind, thinking about music, school, work, friends, family, playing guitar, whatever it may be.  It seems my mind becomes obsessed with one topic and there is not enough time in the day to learn more about that topic.  Two weeks ago, my obsession was Jim Morrison from the Doors.  I watched a movie called The Doors based on his life and the band.  He was a very deep, poetic soul who will be forever young, dying at the age of 27.  I am so interested in his life, his poetry and philosophies, and the impact and inspiration that he accomplished before even reaching his 30s.  This amazes me.  I have now shifted my obsessive thoughts towards all music and guitar playing.  I feel that the more obsessed and more time that I spend on something, the more it races through my mind, the less I can sleep.  It's like I have so much energy that sleep is a waste of time, I need more music.  I have only been getting about 4 hours of sleep for a week now and this greatly effects my dreams as well.  The only time that I can dream is once I have woken up in the very early morning like 3-5 am then fall back asleep.  I had a dream last night that I was with my family in a log cabin and we were being attacked by people in the woods.  This is a common dream.  I always dream of isolation and danger, living life on the edge, not knowing when you will have your next meal.  I do not believe this is a reflection of my life but who knows, the thoughts are coming from inside.  Who knows what dreams really are, a compilation of yesterday's events, or your mind predicting the future or casting light on current events.  We all sleep and we all dream but certain minds go deeper and push the limits of the unknown, the dream world.
