to sleep, perchance to dream.....

ok, so i managed to get to bed early enough for a long night of uninterrupted sleep........and while the bones remain stiff....and my head is pounding....heck....i have gotten used to the infirmities of middle age.......but what i am not used to is the dreaming part.......why did i dream vividly one night about future grandchildren....only to have no dreams at all the next night.......was it the nyquil that prevented the sequel to the baby dream.....i was kind of looking forward to seeing where that one was going.....not that the mind follows through with things in a sequential way......simply wanting to know makes that dream scenario flat and out-of-play....ah well........might make a great short story....that baby dream.......a make-up-your-own bizarre ending kind of piece.........
