New game:
When going about your day in the passive mode; be it walking, in transit, or just waiting in line at the local line emporium, close your eyes. Deliberately. Close them with a purpose.
Then open them and imagine waking up. Allow your eyes to adjust to the sudden "realization" that you've been walking around in a daze for ... I don't know. Let's say a month.
Now you've turned the color back on. The sound is more vivid. You can feel the freaking air on your skin!
Where were these sensations before!? How come they haven't been present this entire time!
Look for information that you may have missed in your half awake state.
A newspaper!
They still have newspapers! Great!
The sky isn't on fire! Also great; no flying cars though ... we'll get there.
Now think of the thing you most want to do in the world! What have you missed the most since going into your sleep!
Go. Do it! And let nothing else get in your way!
Hopefully this will force you to cross the first threshold of your heroes journey into a call to adventure that will enrich and enliven you.
If, however, it does not: hopefully you will have acquired a taste for waking up. And will grow less content with a waking sleep.
It's good to remember how awakening feels.
It makes it harder to be content with sleep.
