The Daisy Field

As I sit here sipping my coffee, remnants of tears on my face, trying to shake off the last of my dream, I am struck by what a blessing and a curse it is to be such a vivid dreamer I have always had very vivid dreams and most nights I can recall most if not all things from the last dream before I wake.   It's like watching a movie.... Sometimes it's very vivid but shortly after I wake it feels like a faint memory and others like the Fire Train dream stick with me even many many years later.   The Fire Train dream was back at least 25 years ago and I remember every single thing, the smell, the colors, the sounds. When the dreams are pleasant, I actually resent waking up.   I feel so immersed in my dreams that I have even occasionally woken up and tried immediately to go back lol. I will call out in my sleep, grab for things and even once immediately punched someone in the face who was shaking me awake  ...
