"All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream."
- Edgar Allan Poe
Just before waking up this morning, I had a dream that I was asleep, having a dream. So according to Poe, I was having a dream within a dream while existing in a dream within a dream. Suddenly, Inception makes sense. Considering the philosophical implications of Poe's poem, I think I deserve extra credit for hauling myself out of such a metaphysical quagmire and accomplishing a 40-minute trail run.
Plus, I went for a lovely afternoon walk at Englishman River Falls with a friend, and while it was neither fast nor strenuous, I'm thinking even more extra credit is in order.
I'm going to bank it all up for a free day somewhere down the line, on a morning when I'm not up to battling the bogginess.
Ooo...I've had dreams within dreams...it's so weird. I think I'm awake and then can't move and realize I have to wake up again. I LOVED Inception. Hooray for a 40 minute run!
