out of the darkness.

So, it's 4:00 and I've only just showered. I still have a towel on my head. Before that, I had a two-hour nap. Now, usually, I don't take naps because I always wake up with a headache. But I already had a headache, so I went with it. My mistake. I understand now. Napping makes the pain inside my head increase, regardless of the level going into the nap. How is this possible? I mean, sleep is inherently good for my body, right? If it's that easy to fall asleep (and today it was), surely that means my body needs it. So why does it make my brain feel like it's loose inside my head and sloshing from side to side whenever I move?

I had bizarre dreams. My dad was telling me about how one time, on my sister's birthday, he gave her and her cat (who never existed and was apparently named Garfield) a present. And then I went to take a shower. The bathroom was one I've dreamed about before. Everything fabric is olive green and everything wooden is dark and reddish. And there are ferns and palms in the corner and in the design of the wallpaper. It's very dark. It's not a bathroom I've actually been in, but I dream about it from time to time.

Each time I do, I find another light switch.
