Dreams Defined

 

 

Are dreams just prolonged thoughts, or one’s self

Emerging from the fear and mediocrity?

 

People appear and act without a clear identity,

But still they are understood.

 

Are they fate’s way of showing your chances

And testing your faith?

 

Are they what others wish for you or perhaps

What they want from you?

 

Could they be secrets revealed from another dimension?

 

Are they signs of your true self?

Not the person you let people think you are?

 

Are they feelings that boldly confront you in

The moment of your logic’s absence?

 

Like a tightly sealed steel can, you can’t escape

Your mind or its needs.

 

Does the subconscious being leave your

Body and live out the images?

 

Perhaps until your final breaths, or even then,

Will the mind take another form?
