it is a strange experience when i sleep.
not when i wrestle with blankets and my eyes are shut,
but when my breath slows and i slumber.
i dream vivid dreams.
it is rare for me to sleep deep.
there are always reasons to stay awake.
the ticking of a clock can halt my peace.
a silent pond can raise my head.
if my rest goes unshaken i escape.
there are places i have never been,
lands i have only seen with eyes shut.
i am alive in my dreams.
when i sleep, i am awake.
life is real, all my senses are active.
if i were a child my dreams would fill my day.
it is said that children dream 80% more than adults.
when i sleep, i dream 100% of the time.
maybe it is when i am awake that i need to remember to dream?
