Dreams

I’m not talking about aspirations or hopes here. It’s more about those vivid images you get when you’re sleeping or when you’re in a daze.

How dreams and our brains work is a whole new issue so let’s not get into it. Most of the time, we can’t control our dreams. There are other times when we can and that’s called lucid dreams- whereby dreamers know that they are dreaming and are capable of changing their dream environment and controlling certain aspects of the dream. How’s that possible, don’t ask me! Well, maybe when we day-dream, the situations we can control? Hmmm…

Have you ever had times when you felt as though your dream was so real only to wake up getting disappointed? I certainly dislike that feeling. But I guess there are also times when you wake up and felt so relieved that whatever that happened was only a dream. Like I ever said, everything has two sides to it. Dreams included.

Dreams are said to be signs and can be interpreted but I don’t really believe in that. Dreams are just dreams and most of the time, they never occur in reality. I guess the reason why people like to sleep and dream is because only fairytales happen there. Once you wake up, sorry honey, its back to reality!

Dreams, some good and some bad
Millions of it we’ve definitely had

Floating on clouds, so surreal
Wake up; it’s everything but a fairytale

Sometimes we wished it last forever
Sometimes to happen, we wished it never

When we sleep, our minds supposed to be at rest
But instead it’s forever put to the test

I rather have a dream-less sleep
Then to awake, seeing myself weep

In the comfort of our feathered pillows
We drift to a place where the sun’s not yellow

Cos anything can happen in dreams
Unbelievable as it seems

Taunted by the non-existent ghost
Jerking you awake at most

with sweat trickling down our face
The fast breathing we have to pace

Suddenly we’re watching the sunset
With that someone we wished we had
Dark clouds start to hijack the ambience
Then you’re suddenly all alone

For a moment you thought you had it all
But just a second and you start to fall
Handicapped with fear, you start to tear
And all the visions a blur

When you awake you start to think
Happiness gone in a blink

Then you realized it’s just a dream
Something that was always better then it seemed


building castles in the sky,
