~ Dreams of a Pirate Life ~

Interesting phenomenon over the last several evenings. In my active addiction I never dreamt or slept at all. Just passed out cold. Night time especially was always tough for me being alone in the quiet. Hence being in the nightclub industry for 25 years. In the club I am awake surrounded by like minded others, booze, drugs, women, very loud music and flashing lights to distract me instead of addressing my issues. Its been about two and a half now since I got sober. In rehab it was explained to me it takes years for your brain to heal from the abuse done to it. All that said over the last week or so I have had these marvelous, almost life like dreams about swashbucklers, pirates and damsels in distress. From Mermaids and buried treasure to the wrath of the Kraken. Sailing the highs from one hemisphere to the other. Each dream more vivid than the next. A trend is building to be sure! It is nice to sleep again...
