I’ve been having interesting dreams
Though I can’t really remember them
I just remember the feeling when
Experiencing the dream
& remember feeling excited
Like something was actually happening
That there was real risk & adversity
Compared to the nothingness challenging me
In my waking life – yet even with what
Felt like actual consequence & not
Just the fear of another miss
It actually felt like it was worth it
Yet, what was so important just moments before
Evaporate with my memory of the dream
Reawakening in the “real” world
Where I have no direction or meaning
Wondering why I only feel like
I’m doing something real
When there’s no proof left
Just a good story if I’m lucky at best
