what is real is so blatantly boring and redundant that my mind tends to wander in the general direction of what is unreal and extraordinay… because even the slightest possibility that the extraordinay can actually BE produces such a rush of hope, and a high so potent that its transitory nature is of no consequence. this is why i dream. if you call this foolishness then so be it. we’re all fools at one time or another.
