Ha! I remember wanting to sleep very often because I felt most alive and free in my dreams. And your sharing reminded me how once I was selected to tell a story on stage in Primary school. I was so animated in my own rehearsals, but when it was time to go onstage I just became numb and quickly got it over and done in a monotonous voice.

This new reflection came to me after reading your essasy: I think I wasn't used to sharing that magical inner world with the 'real world'.
