Jul. 24th, 2009 12:28 pmDear Subconscious,
I realise that you have to work in enigmatic, metaphorical, and obtuse ways to qualify for your position, however, I would like to address your recent activities with a view to clarifying some issues.
Firstly, while nightmares are an excellent method of bringing unacknowledged fears and anxieties to the fore to enable me to deal with those things, it is generally more beneficial if you allow me to actually recollect these nightmares upon waking. The fact that I have awoken several times every single night, for approximately the past week, indicates that you are working very hard on getting a message through to me. The fact that I wake up yelling, fighting with my doona, throwing my pillows at chimeras, thrashing in my bed, or leaping out of my bed certainly suggests that you are pulling out all the stops to get me to acknowledge the source of these nightmares. Unfortunately, for this to happen there needs to be some connection between you and my conscious mind, and I fear that this is where the communication has broken down. Perhaps you could check the connections/plugs and do whatever maintenance work is required before continuing with your onslaught of attention-seeking. To be completely frank with you, you're exhausting me and at this point I just want a full nights undisturbed sleep. Please. I promise I will pay better attention if you just let me get some sleep.
Secondly, I realise that honesty is generally the best policy, however if I choose to dissemble a little every now and then there is generally a very good reason for it. Please stop trying to undermine this, and don't think for one second that I don't know what you're doing. What you want, and what is best for us and other people who would be impacted, are not always the same thing. You are the SUBconscious, please don't forget your place.
Thank you very much,
Management.
