And what am I
if not just a figment
of someones imagination
A thought... bit player
in someones dream,
And my life
As i have lived it;
Could it be
that my lifetime
has been but a thought?
Will I wake up
one day
to find that everything,
every event-
my thoughts, my deeds
my want, my needs
all happened
in one nights dream?
Am I asleep,
a cosmic being
with event unfolding
behind my eyelids
subconciously living a life
playing out a drama:
Activity wrought in slumber;
Am I alive...?
Am I me, or am I
Pretending to be mortal
though I am but
a mote of dust
afloat-- adrift
lost in time; endless millenia
waiting for someone
to disturb my rest
and shatter the dream
that constitutes my life...
And what am I
if not just
a very tiny part
of a very big dream?

This is absolutely something I think about often. Excellent write.
