Crazy
June 9th, 2006
Have you ever been in a mental hospital? I visited one last night — in a dream.
Thanks to a really neat music video, I had Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” stuck in my head as I fell asleep. As best as I can figure, my mind parlayed the song title into a dream storyline. In the dream, I was committed; for what I’m not sure. The really disturbing thing was that a number of my coworkers were also committed. I wish I could use more of my brain’s creativity in waking life.
I’ll try to find a song about fast cars for tonight.
An asylum is one of the scariest places. I would not want to be in one, even for a visit. It seems very much like a jail, but without checks and balances, and little or no control over yourself. And even less chance of getting out.
