or Scientific treatise on the art of daydreaming

The trailer of my destiny is running along the metro tunnel of life, with the obligatory light at the end. I'm not the only one sitting in it. At different stations, people who are absolutely strangers to me come here, who leave after one stop so that they will never meet with me again and disappear into the boundless sea of being forever. But the main thing is that I still have constant companions: relatives, friends and acquaintances who, thank God, do not leave me throughout this crazy journey. In the evenings, a small lamp is lit in the trailer, and I, with shopping bags full of knowledge, skills and abilities, go home. Oh, this is the greatest time to indulge in the sweet process of building castles in the air, distributing teddy bears and other such terribly important events.

If you think that dreaming is very easy, then let me disagree with you! It’s a whole science to dream truly correctly and productively. It is best, of course, to do this in the evening before bedtime. Why do we dress our mortal bodies in comfortable clothes and assume a comfortable body position. Each has its own. For example, if you are a Japanese bat, then it is best to hang upside down somewhere on a sakura branch; if a Russian Prusak, then you need to freeze somewhere in an unlit crack in the kitchen between the sink and the dining table (for Prussian Rusks, the recommendations are identical). Well, since you are a human being, it is most convenient to get into your favorite bed, close your eyes and …

No, wait, it's too early to dream. First you need to get rid of the debris that has accumulated in your brain throughout the day. Sometimes it is, oh, how difficult it is. The disgusting Ivan Ivanovich, with his red mustache, brazenly looms in the imagination and shows with his fat, sausage-like finger, like a clock:"

By this time, light-winged and sweet-voiced Morpheus (not to be confused with the uncle from "The Matrix") is already waltzing with the beauty At Night over the cities and towns of his native country. And now the most crucial moment comes. For greater pleasure, you can deliberately delay it a little, not letting pleasant thoughts get too close to you. After waiting for some sweet languor to flood the entire solar plexus area, you can proceed to the main process. Unlike the introductory part, now in no case should you think about aggression, violence and failure. An air castle should be built on a foundation only out of positive emotions! What to dream about, I think, is not worth talking about. After all, each person has his own country "Prigresia", which has only its own laws, which are no longer in force in the neighbor's Prigresia. Thoughts and images live in it, which have left their imprint on our subconscious. Through the imagination, we pull them out of the depths of memory, decorate them with cute trinkets of modernity, or clothe them in the foggy clothes of the past, and sometimes we plant obscure forms of the future on them. Some, for example Salvador Dali, managed to maintain this state longer, and it was under this impression that they wrote their creations, which later became masterpieces. The same Dali, having slightly improved the process, recommended to sprinkle your favorite perfume in the room and put on quiet soothing music to create the right atmosphere.

And Morpheus is circling, circling, circling his lady in a charming waltz, and it is already incomprehensible - whether it is Night, or whether you yourself in a black pearl dress … Never be shy to dream. Because at this time the brain, and without your knowledge, does its job. He programs tasks for the near future and plans the shortest ways to achieve his plans. Therefore, do not be surprised if an awesome idea dawns on you in the early morning. This is not a gift of fate - it's you yourself after a quality dreaming session.

In conclusion, I want to say that you can dream not only while lying in bed. Some people prefer to do this, sitting on the windowsill, during a lingering autumn rain, others - in hot summer, when the sun has just appeared on the horizon, dangling their legs from the bridge into a shallow stream. Still others like to listen to the whispers of the blizzard as she tells her winter fairy tales to a domestic black cat through the chimney. Someone else loves to go out to the park in the spring so that the white acacia standing by the cherished shop creaks friendly and endowed the visitor with its thick aroma. How many years have passed, and the acacia remembers everything … Well, I like to dream when I ride in my trailer from work. The next station is "Kingdom of the White Knight" - the Pink Elephant blows with its trunk. Oh, this is my stop - it's time for me to get out! Thanks for the company, it was not boring to go with you all this time.

P. S And with Ivan Ivanovich all the same you need to make up - the boss, after all. When you go to his office tomorrow, imagine for a second that he also dreams at night, perhaps embracing his favorite pillow, and sniffling funny into his red mustache. Of course, you can't help but smile! But you and I know how your smile acts on an impregnable boss …
