8-11-98: At Night
Book Recently Finished: Hotel Sarajevo by Jack Kersh
I've been having some really trippy dreams lately. It all started sometime last May or June when my best friend was discussing dreams she had been having and I remembered that I hadn't recalled having a dream in months.
So then, I started to wake up in the morning with a clear and vivid memory of my dreams. They were all very unusual and had many twists to them. I wonder....why are they so strange and plentiful? The plots are very different, and they end up turning into a story in a story.

Night is so questioning. I am afraid of it, yet am loving to fall asleep and dream now. Sometimes I stay awake at night, scared of violence that might creep out of the darkness. One time, I just was frightened about life....I prayed to God to help me. It might just be an eerie coincidence, but the radio playing in my room belted out the song "As I Lay Me Down". I listened closely, and was astonished as I heard the lyrics. I've forgotten them, but I know it goes something like this,"And this I pray that though I'm faraway I whisper your name into the sky and I will wake up happy".
When I finally got to sleep, I felt comfortable and safe.
