I’ve always been prone to dreaming of things I can’t have in
waking life – people and places, mostly. If I’m in a place where I don’t want
to be, I dream frequently about being somewhere else. For a while I feel
released and happy, and then I wake up. It’s the same with people.
I suppose we all do it. Why? Why don’t we dream instead of
being in a situation that’s even worse, and then waking up would be a relief,
wouldn’t it?
In my case, I put it down to being an incurable optimist. I
learned long ago that optimists suffer much more than pessimists do. Being an
optimist sets you up for regular disappointments.
