In a Memory Far Away

I'm not sure how many others experience this.

But some nights, when I try hard to fall asleep.
I close my eyes and it feels like I'm finally dreaming.
But it's so vivid, the images in my mind.

I travel, flying(?) along a coastline far from home.
Cliffs and small protected beaches between the rocky outcroppings.
The sun casting its light across the waves, like glitter along the sea.
The tops of the coast covered in a brilliant shade of green, shifting in the winds, light playing off the blades of tall grass.
Somehow I remember the feeling of the wind, across whatever body I am within. It's alien, but familiar.
The smell of it fills my mind, even.
I long for this unknown place, far from where I am.
And I open my eyes, feeling as if I had been out for hours.
To find it's only been but a minute.

I wonder if any others experience this.
