Ramblings of the Owl

Last night ( I think it should read early this morning), I could not sleep.
I should correct that:- for hours on end, I kept my eyes closed, but I could 'see', 'hear' and was very well aware that my mind was working overtime. The subconscious was on overdrive.

I had long conversations with myself, I think. At some point, it went like this:

Me: Hey, I am tired. Go to sleep.
Mind: What sleep? I am alert right now. Come on, get up. It's the best time to get some work done.
Me: Work? I did work during the day!
Mind: You call that work? You were just like a zombie. You did not even use me. The rest of the body was on auto mode.
Me: But don't you control the rest of me?
Mind: You think I do? We would not have this conversation if I did...So I am taking control now...hehehe...when the body is weak...


Freud and Jung would have had a field day with me.
I know, I know...it's look like I am the best candidate now for a straight jacket. I speak out aloud during the day...and now, I am taking to myself at night? The best part was that I know the brain is the most powerful organ in our body. In the process of 'IT' admonishing me for my daytime shortcomings, it even gave me ideas about what to teach during the day!

Mind over matter, they say.
But tonight, I will be nice to Ms.Brain...please...I need my sleep.
