why do we sleep


Why do we sleep?

 to ignore reality…
Ignore what we can't change in our world
 to escape…
escape insecurities 
escape life
escape impurities 
of the world
We sleep  because the things we can not change
 we change in a dream
create a life
create a world
different worlds 
different people
change lives 
change attitudes
towards who?
you?
Me?
