DREAM DUST

Look to your dreams

They’ll show you your heart

The unrealised thoughts

Whilst awake they depart

~

Look to your dreams

They’ll provide an escape

An indulgence in the subconscious

A playing of mind’s tape

~

Look to your dreams

They can give you hope

The future will be brighter

For now, you will cope

~

In some cultures, dreams tell all

A prophecy if you will

Many have gone to war for dreams

To fulfil them, many kill

~

Some look to their dreams

And don’t like what they see

Vivid traumas and fears relived

Not the safest place to be

~

Dreams may tell you the ideas you ignore

The hopes you’re reluctant to show

They may help you identify healing

To feel the pain and then let it go

~

Does that make things different?

Will you find hope from it not being real?

Or is this dream dust precious gems

That nightmares have come to steal?

~

You are alive in the here and now

You think, feel and love

Your dream doesn’t have to mean a thing if you like

No great sign from above

~

It’s worth noting down these dreams

Whatever they may say

Talk between the subconscious and conscious mind

May help you in some way

~
