To Dream. - A reflection.
To dream or not to dream--that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler for the mind to sink within subconscious eternity
And dwell within synthetic imagination,
Or to engage the day's fury
And by fighting, to suffer the consequences.
To awaken, to come to reality--
No more--and by awakening to say I control my own destiny
Within each and every passing hour--
'Tis an ideal
I cannot begin to embrace.
To dream, to sleep--
To dream, perhaps for eternity. Ay, there's the rub,
For in eternal dreams the events that transpire
In the world of consciousness around us while we dream
Would incite also eternal ignorance.
That's the concept
That exploits the true meaning of dreaming.
For who really wants to slip away from subconscious bliss?
The invitation to a bleak world,
The recollection of something better than what really is,
The disappointment in reality,
The friend's apathetic listening,
The dream's misconstrued story,
And the deranged responses
That I would receive from my dementia of slumber,
When they may also sleep in
And experience what their mind has in store for them?
Who would free themselves from the dream's clutches,
To come to terms with what is actually transpiring around them?
But that something vitally important is happening and dreams hold us in the shroud of unknown,
The events of today in which
Dreams make us not want to believe in,
While we lay in thought,
Wishing we had never dreamed in the first place,
Instead of delving deeper into our inner desires.
Thus the idea of dreams poisoning our ability to perceive makes realists out of us all,
And therefore the idea of dreaming
Is misled by the cataclysmic realization of ignorance,
And the infinite creativity pressed forth by dreams
Are hereby refuted and thrown away like selfish desires,
Becoming the latter, nightmares taking their place.

Forever?
Oh, my darling,
If only you could see what war has done to me.
