I Dream of Jeans: In My Recurring Dreams It’s Always Casual Friday and I’m the Only One Not Wearing Jeans
The difference between dreams and waking life is that
Waking life is a recurring dream
That fulfills your most urgent wish
For another chance
So, if you’ve been given another chance today
Take a chance and use it on what you really want
Which is the only way to end the curse
Of your recurring nightmare
That today is just like all the other days
For even though you can’t ever get what you want,
When every day is a new day
To go ahead and try anyway,
Your life becomes a recurring dream come true
Then the recurring dreams in your dreams–
Be they of flying
Or of showing up to work without any pants on–
Become reminders that even Superman
Puts his pants on one leg at a time
You were born to fly
And the instructions for flying couldn’t be simpler:
Wake up
Put your pants on
Grab your hard hat and lunch pail
And get to work–
You’re going to love the results
