Dear _____, You Have Attacked My Unconscious and I Love It

When I sleep for a long period of time, especially if I have recently suffered a lack of sleep, I dream A LOT. I love dreams, I really do, but I hate it when you dream about something you want and when you wake up you are so disappointed that it never really happened. You dream about having a good experience and it makes you feel wonderful, when you awake you still feel a small glimmer of that feeling but within a few moments it is gone. It keeps happening for me. It is not that I am unhappy with my reality, but there is just something I wish would happen and so it reoccurs often in my unconscious. It makes me enjoy dreaming in a way. John Mayer has a song that I really do love. It is called "Dreaming With a Broken Heart" Here are the Lyrics:

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
Then waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with her crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No she can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my , roses in my hands?

Would you get them if i did?
No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

Theses lyrics only slightly apply to how I feel. My heart isn't broken, and I have not lost a lover. But waking up is really the hardest part when what you dream about it what you long for. I often do wake up wondering if that really happened, and hoping that things really are the way they where in that dream.
 Maybe I just have to take it into my own hands to make my dreams come true...
