To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

Okay, this is a long prompt for NaBloPoMo, "If you could be given the option to never sleep and also never be tired, would you take it if it meant you'd also never dream again?" 

If you'd asked me this question a few days ago I would have said, "Sure, I'm fine with not sleeping." I rarely dream -- I realize everyone dreams -- but I rarely, if ever remember them. However, the other night I had a night full of nightmares -- waking up screaming and shaking nightmares.

I can't pinpoint anything that had happened in my waking hours to prompt those nightmares. Usually it's the sighting of a spider that brings on the nightmares but there were no spiders spotted that day. 

I had nightmares consistenly that night. As soon as I was awake from one and fell back asleep another started. They were vivid and horrifying. So, to give up the opportunity to deal with those again, I say, sure bring on the nonsleep. I can't honestly remember having a dream that made me want to have it again so I am all for the not sleeping and not being tired. How about you?
