Sleep is an subject of interest to the sciences - both hard and soft, art, literature, poetry, theatre, theology, history and philosophy. Without it we fail to thrive, go mad, become brain-washed, stupid and quick to anger. Sleep promotes inspiration, solves problems, relieves stress, buffers us from the consequence of change. It offers sweet repose, respite, restoration of meaning forgetfulness, freedom and the opportunity, sometimes unwelcome, to wrestle with our demons in a different arena. On a PET scan emotions register exactly the same in a dream state as in an awakened one; who then can tell the real from the real?
… to sleep perchance to dream … Our prompt for the month is sleep. Our monthly prompts are offered as simple hooks with which to possibly catch a poem. No one has to fish! They are there for your edification and fun.
