Sometimes a dream becomes a compulsion. You don’t understand it, you’re not sure where it’s going, but you don’t want to leave it. There is an addictive curiosity about what might be next. I have this same issue with the radio.
When the radio is on, I drift into the flow of the programming even when I don’t pay close attention. I find that as I move room to room, I feel the need to take the radio with me. I may not even be sure what the current program is about, but I don’t want to leave it. I need to see it through to it’s next chapter. It is the same feeling that I have in a sleeping dream. I don’t want to wake up; something might happen.
