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.

why aren't they happy?

When I was a young woman, walking down the street deep in thought, a man I did not know would say to me, "Smile, it can't be that bad...Why would a pretty girl like you look so unhappy?"

It happened quite a bit.

If you are a woman, I'm willing to bet it has happened to you - a stranger has told you to smile.
