I suppose that it is. I wrote this one from my own experiences. There was a time that I did at least remember the occasional dream, but that was a long time ago, I have not remembered a single one in many many years. I just find it very strange. Reply
Hi Dom. Yes, sleep is a pit, which is why, in the Greek mythology, Hypnos, god of sleep, and Thanatos, god of death, were twins Reply
Good point. Then again, is it possible people simply don’t remember their dreams?

Same here. Wonder why we start losing the ability to hold onto those as we get older.
Well I guess the mind is the first thing to go at least in my case. 🙂
Mine too. Not sure if that’s better or worse than the body going first.
I guess in the end it all ends in the same place. 🙂
And live in it too.
Indeed, thank you Chris. 🙂

Hello Ellar, I was unaware of that, it does make sense. Thank you my friend.
