A Sleep of a Special Type

Such a Dream State

[Prose form]

Floating I dream

it seems a lovely dream

about my body gender change

and how its going well right now

seems to be connected

this whole state of conscious right now

and something like

gentle thoughts of spring flowers

they seem to be akin

the tangerine flavor in sherbert

cool and sweet and citrus tart

and my cheek against the pillow

feels soft and cool

like I am between sleep and awake

and feeling my face

somehow integrating

in the dream my face plays a part

it is how my world is now

smooth and cool

the pillow may play a part

as I awaken more

I feel my earrings against my cheek

metallic and real

bringing me more to the surface

everything is still flowing

like a tangerine ribbon

a continuum of my time line

me awaking and wondering

an afternoon nap of the sweetest kind

innocent of the concerns of the day

not at all like the sleep of the mundane

special and soft

a testament to what I am

what I feel

and the transition just to come

a new life for me

but the same

but still not the same

yet something else

slowly creeps into the dream state

what is it I wonder

will I now have to awaken

yes

I have to pee.

True testament to what just happened an hour and a half ago ago.

It's a strange world twixt waking and sleeping. A different form of conciousness. Strange but clear. Bizzare but connected to the universe. A place of mythical creatures and god like knowledge. A connection to the divine.

That was a very beautiful poem. Reading it makes me feel like I'm drifting down a gentle river amidst a warm flowery and citrusy meadow.

      @Adrianna DanielleSeeing two different therapist for separate issues really helped me deal with the each of them on different levels. I hope this works for you too.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I seem to remember the word "deplorables" being used not long ago.  Unfortunately so often appropriate.   Hugs,   Charlize

      It was not that long ago that black people were banned from the University of Mississippi.  Schools were segregated and the same excuse of protecting the women (or girls) of old miss.  Times and many feeling have changed with time and federal intervention.  Unfortunately politicians love to separate and divide to gain power.     Hugs,   Charlize

      I agree @Birdieto just "fit in", is what drove us to therapy. I'm not fitting in just to please someone with a closed mind. At least you know who your fair weather friends are now.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Yesterday in the lobby some of the residents were talking with me. One asked, "how come in all the TV commercials at the centre you don't appear in any of them?"   I explained that, "I'm an embarrassment to the centre and they don't know what to do with me." I get edited out!   Quite the differing options with the ladies at the table as some of them said, "that's discrimination", while others said, "they can see why."   Another lady said, "you would fair better if you cut your hair and went back to overalls, you should strive to fit in!"   Their opinions are as meaningful to me as rubbish. I did 45 years of trying to "fit in", and not doing that again. 😉

      Gosh, missed Monday again.   Did you know that Producer Keith Oslen was distraught because the duo his recorded Buckingham-Nicks first album went nowhere? In walked Mick Fleetwood also distraught because once again Flleetwood Mac lost a guitarist in Bob Welsh and he was at least going studio shopping and came to Sound City in LA because he'd heard the drum sound they got there was incredible. He asked Oslen to play something recorded there. Olsen played some of Buckingham-Nicks and Fleetwood loved the sound of the guitarist and wanted Buckingham. Olsen said he comes with Nicks because Olsen managed both. Fleetwood didn't want Nicks but eventually the remaining Mac members said okay and next thing you know - the Fleetwood Mac that scored a huge following was born. Sadly right after the "Fleetwood Mac" album and before "rumours" was recorded, the band got huge headed and got rid of Oslen so they didn't have to play him a lot of music they wanted to keep. Olsen did ok after by recording Ozzy Osbourne, the Grateful Dead, Whitesnake, Pat Benatar, Heart, Santana, Saga, Foreigner, Scorpions, Journey, The Babys, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Joe Walsh, 38 Special, and Eric Burdon & the Animals, among others. BTW - Olsen was also a members in 1967 of a band called Music Machine (not the James Taylor one) that scored a huge hit with the song "Talk Talk"

      Still on contentment high from Sunday.
    • Heather Shay
      CONTENTMENT The relentless pursuit of happiness often overshadows the more subtle yet profound emotional state of contentment. While happiness may be a fleeting high, contentment is the gentle hum of satisfaction that resonates through the soul, offering a sustainable path to life satisfaction. Oscar Wilde's poignant observation encapsulates this truth: "True contentment is not having everything, but in being satisfied with everything you have."
