Dreaming My Life Away

Not sure if this is really possible, but every night I dream a lifetime. A while ago I realized if I can see my nightmares through to the end they resolve and I  can barely remember them. I see myself standing in this resolution and I decide not to wake up, but to move forward and see where this dream-life will take me. Last night I grew to be a very old man. A happy old man. I remember lying back in my bed and looking forward to what dreams may come. I  dreamed about the wonderful life I had lived and then I woke up.
