    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;in one of my dreams, i threw a punch. knuckles to jaw, the crack ringing out around us. and the best part was that i didn’t regret it - not in my dream and not in real life.
in another one i finally got to unleash every harsh word i had been biting back, every ugly thought that i had pushed down, every unreasonable assumption that unbeknownst to me at the time would turn out to be reasonable after all.
the worst dream was the most unrealistic one. in that one, he held his hands up and took responsibility and yes, some of the blame too. he was reasonable. rational, even.
i woke up and rage continued to flow through me. it simmered eventually, full flames to a muted flicker but still there in the back of my mind. it never went away either, always there to remind me of what had happened. the dreams stopped eventually but the fire remained.&lt;/p&gt;
