Dreams

Dreams can be so vivid, so real. Once you wake, they fade and once again life hits you with reality. But what if that wasnt so? What if most of our lives, we live believing that because our eyes are open, we see what is real? What if the dream you had last night was reality? You awoke and it disappeared. Maybe we live in dreams.
We live in those dreams where all we ever wanted, we could have. Life is perfect in dreams. We could be anything we want to be, do anything we want to do, have it all. What if dreams are the answers to our wishes. What if nightmares only begin when youre no longer sleeping, dreaming? Why else would I long to dream about him again? My dreams give me what I wish for. Why else would life overwhelm me with its complications everytime Im awake?
All my nightmares come true when I open my eyes every morning. So cruel, that what I felt and had in my dreams the moment before I awoke I could not feel again until the night, until I close my eyes and return to my dreams, my reality. So abruptly they end...
Maybe life isnt about what you accomplish. Maybe death only comes to us after our dreams are all we have left. Until our nightmares fade and what we dream of while asleep is also what we live while we're awake. When being awake and sleeping feels the same. Maybe growing up is finding the dream that will shape the rest of our lives. Maybe we never really die. We simply drift off into an eternal dream after we have found the dreams of our lives. If death is sleeping forever, maybe it wont be so bad. If I can feel the way I do in my dreams when he is with me. Maybe we are trully dead when alive, and life begins from the moment you die. Maybe there is no heaven, no hell. All we have are dreams and nightmares...
