I think about it a lot. The way people stay awake at night. What do they gain? After a long day of hectic hours in this torturous world, why spend more time being awake than to go for a sound sleep. I have read somewhere, ' when your life becomes better than your dreams, you tend to stay awake. ' But that is true and unacceptable at a very small platform. So I'll be more sound. I believe people stay awake at night thinking about their lives and creating a fantasy world that they would rather live in. Where they can buy their Mercedes, and the love of their lives is with them. Where world is so much a better place for them. People build at night. Staying awake, placing every piece as they want it to be. Where pieces don't have to be placed in a perfect manner to fit. That's what people do at night.
The fact that gives me chills is that they don't actually dream. In the process of building, they don't really build. They don't recreate. They renovate their lives. Their dreams lie in the boundaries of their reach. Or something that is possible, just hard. I mean they won't fantasise themselves driving a Rolls Royce. Why? "Oh come on! How is that rational? A middle class man working on 50k salary, what are the chances of him driving a Rolls Royce?"
This rationality while dreaming, while building is totally useless. Or rather unnecessary. People stay awake to dream because while sleeping, they don't have control over their dreams but The control on our dreams makes us stop dreaming. Because to dream, a mind must be free. Not only from stress or anxieties but also from rationality.
