Does it Mean I'm Happy Now?

If I laugh in my sleep
Does it mean I'm happy, now?
Or is it just another R.E.M. moment
That won't survive the daylight
Much less the memory.

But this time I woke up laughing
So can it mean I'm happy, now?
I don't know what brought it on
The dream, whatever it was, is gone
But it means something, doesn't it?

If I laugh in my sleep
Does it mean I'm happy, now?
Because I don't find on my bedside table
Madness, writings of insanity
That scare the hell out of me

The writing mine, and yet
The thoughts of someone
Deep, deep inside me
Who ran me from there
Who ran me from way down there.

But now

If I laugh in my sleep
Does it mean I'm happy, now?
