The Frailty and Fragility of human existence

So, I generally don't sleep well.  I toss and turn and typically sleep in 30-60 minute chunks most of the night.  it is not fun, but I have come to accept it.  Every once in a while, though I manage to get a full night's sleep and it is glorious. 

I slept great last night and only woke up when the alarm went off at 6:45.  Oddly enough though, I don't remember what I was dreaming about, but the phrase "The frailty and fragility of human existence" was stuck in my head.  Although I slept great, I woke up feeling very sombre and morose.  Like I had just come from a wake or a funeral.  Or as if I had just had a life-altering moment or realization.  I can't seem to shake this vibe this morning.  I am normally an easy-going guy, but this morning I feel very dark and heavy. 

I would love to know what I dreamed about last night.
