dreams unrealized

"in dreams, emotions are overwhelming." that movie science of sleep never really resonated with me. the only memorable thing about it was gael garcia's ass, actually. but that particular line i just quoted came to me this morning out of nowhere. i think a friend of mine used to have it as her "headline" on myspace and it just clicked where it came from. as i was saying, it came to me this morning, but i suppose it was not out of nowhere. i woke up from an intense dream that i thought was real, that i wished was real, so much so that in said dream, i kept slapping my face to see if it was real and i never woke up (in my dream) but then i woke up in my bed and i was sick and my roommate was watching the first 48 in the next room. what i thought was mine again was really just my memory torturing me and i am seemingly incapable of controlling what i dream about. i hear the last thing one thinks about before sleep predicts what the dream will be but i know the last thing i thought about was the obama health care plan. or, maybe not.
