Yesterday’s dreams and smiles and drunken toasts are today's ghosts.

I used to think meditation served the purpose of clearing my mind of dreams. Good and bad, dreams do affect us in our daily mood. Now I wonder if meditation unlocks them, utilizes the wisdom that has been sent to us by our subconscious.

I like to wake up after a night of drinking, and amazing dreams, and for a second not know where I am. I love that feeling. It means you are still moving, still alive.And then you go, “Oh yeah, that’s right.”“Shit, I’m in England, or shit I’m in Germany.”Or it can be warm, like, “Oh yeah, I’m in Paris. I live in Paris. How the hell did you pull that one off?”Those first few seconds, when you first wake up, they are key.

Vanity does not pay the bills.

Life can be at its cruelest with love and dreams. But of course they keep most of us going.

The good thing about dating quite a few girls in your youth is that in your later years they may reappear, in your dreams, in your sleep, exactly the same, slightly different, or completely unrecognizable as someone else, but the feelings of infatuation, even love, will be as strong as if it was the real thing, and so you will wake up many mornings, in a good mood.
