Dreaming is Hilarious


Mimpi.
Gue percaya ga ada seorang pun di semesta ini yang ga punya mimpi, setidaknya dalam tidurnya. Setiap orang adalah subjek sekaligus objek dari mimpi- mimpi mereka. Bahkan, gue percaya bahwa hewan pun punya mimpi, entah singa yang selalu memimpikan daging antelope sebagai santapan rutinnya, kucing yang selalu menanti musim kawinnya atau bahkan mimpi seekor kura-kura yang ingin berlari cepat. Hewan pun memiliki ‘keinginan naluriah’ yang bisa kita analogikan sebagai mimpi mereka. Sungguh memalukan kalo kita, yang notabenenya manusia, untuk takut bermimpi.
