Dreams
Who send these images that enter my sleep held brain?
Who paints these images vivid that I cant remember all of?
What is the meaning of these warped images that I when asleep can see plain
But on waking am blinded and can remember little of?
Strange apparitions of times past are suddenly recalled
So real its almost as if I can touch
Is the waking world with its regularity sprawled
To confuse, or maybe clarify as much?
The objects that control our thoughts during waking hours
Perhaps explained if we see the sleep seen signs
The answers we see if we have the interpretive powers
To be able, among this nonsense, to read the lines.
For answers we find not by regular ways
So when our brains orthodoxy is relaxed when we rest
The answers in coded for, the dance, and the image in our mind stays
In frames frozen: can we comprehend the test?
Maybe its in the simple cow who chews her grass
And stores it raw, but is prepared to regurgitate it as cud
So are the sights that into the stomach of our brains do pass
So that when at rest recall the images we would.
Fir greater understanding of our complex life
Maybe as a tool God gave us our dreams
Who can say that this is not so,
That this is not one of Gods Master Schemes?

Yes - a very thought provoking poem and topic in general. When I was at my very unhappiest, I didn't dream at all - just very solid undreaming sleep. It was only afterwards that the dreams flew/grew - perhaps my mind trying to make sense of it all and getting the house back in order...A God given gift? Maybe.
