I do this because of a dream

Sometimes I watch my dogs while they’re sleeping.

They kick their legs and make little barking sounds because in the dream world, they are chasing something.

Their dream world isn’t any less real than this physical world. In the dream world, they are running.

I’ve always been fascinated by dreams and have kept a dream journal since I was a teenager.

Back then, my dreams were often jarring, even violent.
