Nighttime dreams are an arena,
for the subconscious mind
to hash out all the sludge
the heaviness, the deep seated
unfinished and unresolved
emotions and traumas
we all bury into our psyche.
my fears and my hurts
carry themselves into a stream
of scenarios and situations
displayed as a movie in my
dream, a movie I am in.
The show goes on and plays
itself out, and I, during my
waking hours, must figure out
the meanings of my dreams.
