Literature Text

Dreams amuse us,
Nightmares haunt us.
Prediction or ambition,
A reflex of your mind in process.
Either way, we dream.

We can't hope to understand by stopping it.
Understanding must move,
With the flows of the process,
Must join it and flow with it,
Until we achieve synchrony.

Alas, we find the truth.
We are, after all, our worst enemies,
We are our own judges,
We are our own kings and queens.
An enemy who knows your every weakness.

It is you who inflict, upon you,
This pain and suffering.
It is you and only you, after all,
Who can put and end to this.
It is you versus you, after all.

Dreams and nightmares are, essentially,
Limited realities where your mind dabbles.
Sweet as you are, harsh as you are.
Made by you and you alone,
Can only, by you, be undone.

It doesn't matter if you know not how to fight.
Pick up that spear and that shield,
Pick up that gun and that vest.
Thrust back, shoot back, dodge and retreat.
It will take time, you will bleed.

Slowly, night after night, your aim will improve.
You are the creator of this reality.
No need to thrust, no need to shoot.
No need to dodge, no need to retreat.
It is your whim alone that shapes this reality.

Wake up, change the landscape,
Collapse the very fabric of what you see and feel.
It is a world where you reign supreme,
Find the will, refuse to be a slave.
This is your dreamscape to shape, and you alone.
Had read a blog entry from a friend of mine, and she kept on saying about those terrible nightmares she had... it reminded me of my own past experiences on that matter, and on how I was able to harness control over them.
