Possible Impossibles

Day dreaming is such a prejudice term. Not because it discludes creatures such as vampires, werewolves, and gargoyles,--though one could make an extremely convincing argument for that--but because it discludes those who dream at night.


Now you're thinking, "Yea but that's called regular dreaming." and I say you are in fact absolutely wrong, because I'm speaking of day dreaming while still totally and fully conscious at night. To call such a thing day dreaming is either some kind of crime or an absolute paradox. It should be impossible to do something at night which includes the word, "day" in the description and/or title. Daybreakers do not come out at night, and day time does not happen at night time. Night and day are opposites.


Opposites most often don't happen at the same time, except when opposites attract. But that is of course an old wives tale which attempts to relate the behaviour of magnets to the relationships of human beings. It is ludicrous to make such an assumption as magnets are pieces of metal which are completely incapable of having any emotion whatsoever, never mind love or affection.


However it HAS been scientifically proven that people with the same personalities often clash for reasons which don't really seem to make any sense but upon further investigation make even less sense than before, in turn giving us the realization that it actually makes perfect sense because nothing ever really makes sense anyway.


Much in the same sense that day dreaming at night makes absolutely no sense to anyone who has any sense about having sense in the first place. To day dream at night is to defy the laws of creation--or the universe if you would prefer--and so one comes to a certain revelation when considering this. It would be nice--and ideal--to come up with a name for day dreaming at night so as to make life a little confusing and a little more sensible, but the fact of the matter is that we don't like it when things make sense, because then life becomes less exciting and less mysterious, and when removing words such as exciting and mysterious from a sentence, the only word that comes to mind is dull.


Unofortunately, for the most part, life is a great big heap of dull. Until we stumble across things such as day dreaming at night, and fascinate ourselves with the idea that such a thing should be impossible, and yet we continue to do it even as we think so, creating a heroic moment for ourselves as we bask in the small yet triumphant light of somehow doing the impossible--even though it's really only impossible on paper.


It is in these imaginative day-dreaming-at-night moments that we truly live, and we must never forget to cling tightly to the Impossible-made-possible moments by re-enacting them time and time again. On paper. With a pen. At exactly 2:26 in the morning. Which for some reason is the only time I can ever get any inspiration to do anything: When I day dream at night.
