Dream State Yields Deep Sleep Personifications

Dream state yields deep sleep personifications Upon lying supine - eye shutter lids into the land of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod, where the sandman beckons and bids dead to the webbed wide world, yours truly immune to wakefulness despite being tasered courtesy cattle prod, or struck by lightning hurled by the invisible hand of God inert as a cow pattie or blocky clod. While surrendering into deep slumber recollections harken back to the following nursery rhyme; Rock a bye baby on the tree top, When the wind blows the cradle will rock, When the bough breaks the cradle will fall, And down will come baby, cradle and all. Scant minutes elapse before I drift off into the subconscious land of sleep (while android counts/ dreams of electric sheep to make sure none went missing) lethargic fatigue yours truly cannot slough after buzzfeeding my belly and satiating thirst for knowledge from respective culinary, viz sans surfeit smorgasbord and savoring meaty mixed morsels erudite literary trough slogging thru most famous works courtesy Arthur Evelyn Saint John Waugh storied titled such as early satires, Decline and Fall, and A Handful of Dust, the novel Brideshead Revisited, and the Second World War trilogy Sword of Honour, which substantial tracts terrific tomes, I have yet to read, but nevertheless immensely admire. So submerged, mired, bogged, et cetera within the realm, where extravagant small scenes thrive within the body, mind, and spirit electric (captivation with closest state constituting dead weight) ofttimes lingers long after emerging from slumber perhaps being rudely awakened by the following unexpected figment.

Hard to believe remembrance of things long passed into scores of yesterday's ago, nevertheless still faintly reverberates within the windmills of my mind.
