dreams

I've been thinking quite a lot lately. Every morning when I wake up it takes about three seconds before my brain starts going into overload-mode. I know what I want. I need to buy groceries. I wanna sleep. I should start inline-skating again. It might seem silly, but it's the fact that all the thoughts come at once and yes, some of them are fairly easy to sort out, but why can't my brain just be numb and filled with cotton for an hour after I've woken up?
A friend massaged my back a while ago and told me that it technically shouldn't hurt when he did it. And it never has before. Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to be stressed out - does it feel like this?
