In my dreams
I'm far away
Safe and warm
Not worried about the day
My subconscious is unlocked
Strange scenarios unravel
Released through obscure imagery
Where is this place I have travelled?
Seeing familiar faces
In unusual situations
Such beautiful quiet
Such deep relaxation
Then an alarming sound
Is this part of my dream?
My subconscious starts to sleep
As the sunlight starts to gleam
My eyes can't quite open
Please take me back to that place
I relished where I was
But my conscience starts to race
"You need to get up
You have things to do
Jump in the shower
Have a quick brew
What will today hold?
Will it reflect my dreams?
I must go and work
I must go and achieve
I have to push myself
I have to go and gain
I must live my life
I must not live in vain"
But I am so tired
I have so many chores
I'm not yet content
I always want more
It's so very exhausting
The efforts I must make
I hope that one day
This wanting I will shake
Off I go into the World
Seeing many sights
Hearing many things
Trying to delight
And when the day is done
My head hits the pillow
I try to switch off
As my mind begins to mellow
Thinking starts to fade
My surroundings disappear
My body stills itself
As I let go of my fears
What will my dreams hold?
A content and peaceful fallacy?
Or is this emotion true?
Is this a dreamer's reality?
