Dream Books

I was once told by someone that if you write down your dream as soon as you wake up you'll have a better chance at remembering them, and soon you'll be able to control what happens in your dreams. For a while I was all about this concept because sometimes my dreams have a tendency of getting the best of me and show me my level of weakness. Now, however, I'm almost completely against the idea because those moments of weakness are good indications of my humanity and they help keep me grounded when I seem to carelessly float away. Plus I find it better to let my mind do what it wants because I, nor anyone else, can probably do otherwise. My mind doesn't work like most others (and why should it?) but just to give you an example, or insight, of how it operate it sometimes: I don't know what I want (sometimes) till I have it. Big Secret: I smoke marijuana, when I smoke I'll sometimes get hungry (duh) and then me and whoever I'm with will go somewhere to get food, most likely Wawa. Now me, being the person I am, I have no idea what I want to get--I have a general Idea like that I want something chocolately then something salty and to finish it off with something wet but other than that I'm mostly lost. So being particular and meticulous about some things I start browsing and of course I end up taking forever because I spend most of my time looking at something then imaging how it taste (usually pretty accurately because I've eaten it before) and then trying to figure out if that's why my body wants to eat. I feel like that carries over into many many many other aspects of my life. The question is though, is this a good way to live and I argue that yes yes it is. It might not be the best way for YOU to live but lets get this straight--your not me. I find that I operate good this way because my brain is pretty random and somewhat all over the place so I rely on feeling and emotion with a heavy dose of logic to get stuff done. It takes me forever to think of a topic for a paper because I want to write about something I enjoy or can write a lot about and I take forever to pick what I want to eat because I want to make sure what I get satisfies me. So of course this concept has to carry over into other parts of my life, and I think rightfully so because I need things in my life that satisfy me so that my happiness is rarely on the line. I wish I had more about this to write but I think I exhausted this subject right now, so I'm going to go occupy myself with something else.
