Ever experience anything so wonderful, and so unreal?

So. Not to long ago, I found myself in a dreamlike state of mind whilst, again, listening to Sleep because that song's just singed into my brain. Not burnt, not branded, SINGED. Anyway. So there's one line...or a few, that...the words just make me drift off to some unknown destination. And I'm just lifted millions of miles away from the ground. My eyes are closed, so I'm not sure if I could be in the sky or under the sea, but it's just soothing. My breathing is in slow rhythm and for once in a long time, I feel at peace. I really do.

Such an exhilarating feeling, and I just wish I could stay there longer than I just did. I'm not sure if it was the song itself or just the thoughts going through my head, but I think that everyone should at least feel that way, even if it was for a few short moments. Just gives them a break from the real world, whether it's well-deserved or not. Or maybe we all do feel it when we die. Since Sleep is literally about death, maybe that's where our state of mind goes when we die. Or at least, I hope it does.

"What dreams may come both dark and deep
Of flying wings and soaring leap
As I surrender unto sleep"

Wonderful.
