Eyes Open

I had a dream last night.
A dream so real that waking seems watered down.

I dreamed I was dying.
A death so real that living seemed concentrated.

And then

In the dream

I died.

And then

I woke.


Or did I?

Nice.

You've said so much in so few words which is often a powerful way to get any message across.

I agree that life (waking) could often be described as a watered down version of dreams.

This short verse has so much in it that you could (and I probably will) end up spending many hours thinking about what it says.

Good stuff!
