Living the Dream

(Picture Credit - Findlayhouse dot com)

When I’m in The Land of Nod

Why do I misunderstand the characters there?

How am I constantly surprised

By what they do?

And shocked at the things that happen?

For they are all creations of my own Subconscious Mind.

It seems the “Conscious” Me is at the mercy

Of the Subconscious Id.

But how can this be?

The Id is part of me

Supposedly.

Yet it’s as if The Id

Is another person

Residing within myself,

Toying with the Conscious Me.
(Is this why some get voices in their heads?).

So is this “waking” Life of ours

But a more orderly, clearer Dream?

A dream created by some Super Id

From which we will awaken soon,

To rise into an even clearer Realm

Called Heaven?

Reality is the strangest thing

When viewed this way.

Yet maybe some day

We’ll understand.
