dreams are funny things
they’re something we all have, no matter who we are
(yes, some people say they never dream . . . but that can’t possibly be true)
but they’re deeply personal, almost impossible to share
(you know this is true . . . try it sometime, tell someone about one of your dreams and see how long it takes for their eyes glaze over)
so personal, these handmade mythologies crafted from scraps and fragments
sometimes even we don’t recognize them
sometimes we know we’re dreaming, sometimes we can change our dreams
sometimes a dream will haunt us, for days or weeks . . . or for our entire lives
sometimes we leave our dreams behind, forgotten on the pillow
sometime our dreams come back, again and again
everyone dreams, even if we don’t always remember them when we wake
everyone dreams, even you
