Perplexing Dreams

This is a poem about my strange reoccurring dreams.

Based on a true story

 

I've been having strange dreams that I can’t interpret

Each dream is like the one I had the previous night

In my dreams, I have incredible energy and power

I’m like a disembodied super-intelligent life form

I have invisible wings, and I can fly faster than angels

 

The dreams seem to be real events, and it perplexes me

I’m always afraid of ugly spirits or something else

And I'm always trying to escape from things I can’t see

I feel like I’m trapped in a dark underground place

And I explode like a bomb to get out, but I don’t die

 

I find myself flying high over the terra firma and the sea

The earth suddenly disappears, and I'm in fright

And then I see endless black, sometimes white, space

Some kind of force is pushing me towards the unknown

I can’t stop myself from being pulled into the vacuum

 

I want to know what’s beyond this scary place,

But fear overwhelms me when I reach a certain distance

I begin to struggle for breath, and then I wake up

In my dreams, I'm extremely powerful, yet I'm so afraid

I feel like I’m not human and I don't belong here
