In Dreams I came

A poem on Lucid Dreaming. Gaining control of your dreams. It's fun, but I only done it 3 times in my life. Your mind expands on my topics, but then you wake right back up.

 

Reality shed me of my flesh

Physical spare me the bones

My eyes, yes they do deceive

My ears, yes they do delude

My time grows thin, and my heart grows weary

Now I sleep on a bed of lies

Waking into the real conscience of the mind

Now I am aware once more

Now I turn to the many doors

Within space and time, no longer an issue

I feel empowered once more

 

The dreams of my reality

The reality I accept

Shows me even a greater self

Or a lost of personal will

To stay strong becomes a challenge

Dream taint deluding the self

Self will starts to chip

The Ego is all that’s left

This reality fails to stay

 

Now in the waking world

Governed with universal laws

No longer do I have control

No longer does my heart feel full

Rend of my new conscience

Aware of my weak flesh

Fake sense of self

Plagued with emotion

Forced into this, and now realized I’m alone

Dreams that was once ancient

Dreams that I had once commanded

 

This is my prison

I am chained to my demise

Forced into realization

Facing the abyss

But I know in my heart

I will return to the dreaming

Where I am known

And were I am all

The ending wrapped everything up quite nicely. I'd say that'd have to be my favorite part of this piece. Thanks for sharing.

Very good. Such powerful and potent words and emotion. Did you know that if you are wakened in a middle of a dream, you will remember it? Great poem.
