Shut the Fuck Up About Your Dreams
You hate it when people try to talk to you about their dreams. It's not that you hate the person in general, you just hate them in that moment. It's okay. The same thing happens to me because it's fucking annoying.
It's fresh on my mind because yesterday, one of my besties/assistant, Faith Browdy (who you've never met but have for sure heard sick shit about) ambushed our juice-date/hike with an hour-long retelling of her dream from the night prior. I'm her friend/boss, so I had to at least feign investment in her story, but the trust is: I felt stuck. I had no where to go, and I couldn't listen to her harp about how it felt to be dream-married to Vanity for one more second. I was imprisoned by her dream. Enslaved even. That's what happens when you allow someone to not only re-tell you their fucking dream, but also discover new memories that they have from it, right in front of you. Witnessing someone's personal cycle of self-discovery is not easy for me.
The reason being: it's selfish. There's just nothing to say to someone after they do it besides:
"That's insane."
"That's fucking insane."
"That's so insane, whoa."So, once I was home and safe and showered, I decided to take deaming out of my life entirely. It's basically pointless, no?
No more dreaming for me. I'm not going to dream anymore so that if - God forbid - someone tries to tell me about theirs, I can simply dead the conversation by letting them know that I do not dream, and will not understand anything they are saying. My sleep specialist is going to help me achieve this goal (she mentioned using topical goat oils, which sounds promising), and the only reason I'm telling you all about this is so you know that sleeping, dreaming, and Vanity are not convo starters that I'll be responding to henceforth. Thanks.
You're welcome,
Nichole
