Still sitting on the edge, like a little silly boy, but this times it is somehow different. I am not afraid anymore. I have this kind of intoxicating feeling.

But no, waking up at 2 a.m. wondering around the room. I need someone with who I can talk, someone who I can pull close to me and whisper my words, someone to hold. Oh, damn, still I need some sleep before the morning comes. I shall return to the world of dreams, perhaps this time it lasts till the sunrise. Putting on some old school rock but before that, something special. Three songs to the playlist and back to bed, under the placket. Alicia Keys starts singing about New York. One minute passes, screen turns to black, slowly closing my eyes.

"Abre los ojos" from Vanilla Sky pops up in my mind after closing my eyes. Lost in sweetness. Have you ever felt that? How does it feel? Some moments pass as if when you are sleeping, time attends to move faster. Waking up from that relatively short dream and only one thought is on my mind- "I am late". Wiping my eyes from the dream dust, looking at the watch. Seeing only red numbers as trying to focus. Damn a bit passed 4 a.m. It is awfully dark outside. Closing my eyes, but it is not a easy task. Seems like the Sandman has forgotten me. Bastard. Putting on the playlist again and whole process starts from the beginning.

This reminds me   Fight Club, a movie what is based even on a better novel by Chuck Palahniuk. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt are doing fantastical job. Brad was Edwards alter-ego and every time when Edward thought that he was sleeping the actually he turned into Brad. Edward never knew why he couldn't sleep and why he s so tired. Thank somebody, that I am not tired. (Notice how I used somebody instead of god?) At least I wake up in the middle of night and I know what I am doing and where I am. Have you ever wondered about your  alter-ego? Do you have one? See you in the next dream, till the next leap from the edge.
