Many Lives

The dreamer is the master
His unconscious mind
creating realities at will
We live there
within the shadowy places
Perspectives skewed
to be sure
But us nonetheless
Who knows where we will be
tomorrow night
All it takes is a little REM
and our reality dissolves
only to be replaced
with another
We never remember the former
So we must be doomed
to follow his will
wherever it may take us
Never knowing how many times
we lived before

I've fought with my twin the demon within
Till both of us fell by the road.

Who knows if dreams are reality or not?

Good poem Jonas.

Very interesting poem, with much truth once we reach that REM level anything can happen.

Good poem as usual, Gary.  Another one that gets us thinking.  How many realities have come before?

Thanks everyone! The dreamstate facinates me for some reason.

Oh Dear, I never recall I dreamed. I more sort of go into coma. But I do believe we lived many lives.  

Great poem !

Sometimes life is so bad, dreams are a way to escape!

I never remember dreams or even know if I dream, am I missing something , or am I just BORING.
Good poem Jonas......but I seem to be in a tiny minority that can't relate and wonder why.
