She's asleep now and I wonder what she dreams.
If i could crawl inside her head what would I see?
Imagine it now, you crawl inside and you hear some
voices, faces twisted in fear as sleep comes on and
you succumb finally to forces of nature

There's a guy standing there now, and she knows she
knew him once - yeah it becomes final for her when
he asks "why did you leave me when you promised we'd
be together forever?"

She's been in love before, no doubt, and when she puts
her hand in his she feels something primordial and
new to her as they embrace again
I will never leave you again  you think
I need you I want you I love you   you think

As she sleeps there I so want to tap her, to grind
my knuckles against her sternum to wake her from the
dream and pull her back to reality to remind her of
the dark that's still around her.  
I'd grab her and shake her awake with all my might
and she'd see the old familiar form of the guy she
met last night holding her there reminding her that
there's nothing there but him -- not because I want
her or something, but because I want her to remember
that it's all inside of her      Aw, forget about it.

She wakes up on her own, eyes slowly opening while
I stand over her, gazing down on her covered body like
a doctor studying somebody's past guilt.
I can imagine it: she wakes up and she realizes,
heart still pounding with excitement as she meets her
long-lost nonexistent lover, that it was all a dream,
that it was all inside of her and nowhere else.
Disappointment

She looks up at me.  "what are you doing?"

She laughs at me, "you stupid little boy!"

       and she's asleep again
    and I have to go back to work again
  and she dreams again

I think we all wonder that about our other half! Well done!

You've described so well dreams, our mysterious fantasies that both hide and reveal desires of the heart.
