Ahh, sleep. The time away from our grounded, day-to-day realities. The time for our candy-colored clown they call the sandman to tiptoe to our room while we doze in and out of consciousness, vacillating between worlds until we land in our sleeping states for the night. A soporific scroll to lull ourselves before we cozy up into our covers, hiding from the world, opening up to REM sleep to dream a little dream or two. Dreams are fascinating. They really are windows to our thoughts, feelings, desires. Different philosophers and psychologists will have differing opinions on the meaning behind dreams. Freud, for example, believes that every dream is a deep wish.
We're not the only ones to dream at night. Our pets dream too! Have you ever seen your four-legged sweetie kicking their paws and squinting their eyes while deep in sleep? They're having a dream. I wonder what their subconscious brings to them as they doze away to cat-dreamland.
Who doesn't love a good nap, a rest, a bit of shut-eye, a well-earned slumber, a doze, snooze, or a repose to the chaotic day-to-day. It makes so much sense that cats would sleep so much because their lives are so hard. Just kidding, obviously.
