In Your Dreams

~

dreamers see a dream

as a story, a tableau that

might include themselves

in which they never

appear in person,

~

in a dream, the cast of

characters may differ

in age, juxtaposed across

generations, illogically set 

next to those of another

time and place,

~

a dreamer may enjoy

supernatural powers and

abilities outside his 

normal ken, or else feel 

disabled or slowed by 

the invisible torpor of the

unconscious realm,

~

dreams are a gamble that

the dreamer cannot refuse 

to take, thrust nightly into an 

environment that may be 

either hostile or friendly,

a dream being the perfect

mirror to our true psyche
