I had a weird dream last night. I
dreamed of one of my ex boyfriends. I haven't thought intensely about him recently, I didn't go through one of those lame periods when you think back and sob, but there he was, in my dream, among with other people. Sometimes these things happen to me, I don't think about a person for a while and he or she appears in my dreams, like a reminder note from my subconscious. But anyway. Why he was there is besides the point. The point is that particular guy made me very happy and in that dream we were back together and I was experiencing the same extreme happiness. And we were performers and we all lived together-we were a lot of people, a lot of my friends were there. And we were about to go out and I started searching for a shirt. My head was stuck in the closet and as I was searching something dawned upon me. And I left the place alone, with a strong "fuckitall". The streets looked like the Prater amusement park combined with the first location in
Syberia I. And
different "
machineries" were passing me. One of them was filled with monkeys, it was a mobile zoo. One of them was a show-truck
thingy putting on display the gimp from Pulp Fiction (I have someone else to thank for that one)...all the cars were large, were double
SUVs, very colourful and they all played music. I sat myself on a blackjack machine. It wasn't working because it was to early in the morning, but I just sat there, looking at it. The machine was placed on a high spot in the city and so I could see the panorama. I don't know how long I sat there. Then, this kid comes along saying he wants to play. And I tell him to wait while I finish this game. But nothing was happening although I was pushing
buttons. I got up, bewildered that nothing had happened in the game, and I met another acquaintance who told me that I didn't place my bet. I smiled and we started walking and then I was brutally awoken by a phone call from one of my friends I just dreamed of.
Apart from the fact that I was totally dizzy in the morning[that is, now], I realised something.
Someone holds a meter. Like a thermometer. I once had a thermometer, one of those cheap made-on-a-boat kinda one. And just to see what happens, I placed my finger on it, thus making it heat up. I blew it up in the end, again, just to see what happens. I think there's some sort of dude doing the same thing with happiness. He puts his warm finger on you and besets upon you happiness, but when it's too much, he is careful enough to shatter the glass. The fall is proportional with the amount of happiness. At that time, with that particular guy, I was floating with happiness, intense and full. And the thermometer broke quite badly. And this phenomena happened with other things as well.
I think it's an evolution
fail safe system. We wouldn't evolve if we were happy. "I don't need anything" is probably the death of all life forms. Pain makes us evolve, create, invent. All pain, any kind of pain. Being happy is not compatible with evolution. It's like that phrase in medicine "loosing your liver is not compatible with survival". They could put it like "YOU DIE", but not being compatible with sounds more technical.
Basically, if you're happy, you die. Always be unhappy about something, dislike a particular situation in your life and maybe, just maybe he will ignore you and you can carry on your existence without any burning fingers on your personal thermometer.
