Dreams
Nightmares and dreams.
What do they mean?
Do they mean anything?
Maybe, they’re not what they seem?
A nightmare is scary, it seems.
Sometimes, it’s the same with dreams.
Dreams can be reruns of what you’ve seen.
Nightmares can have ghouls and fiends.
Can they be the prophecy they seem?
Seldom do they become so keen.
Maybe it reflects how you feel in the dream.
Rather than how your feelings really seem.
I am not trying to be mean.
Who can really understand a dream?
There are books on how to interpret the scene.
But, people can write reams and reams.
They may or may not be right about your dreams.
There is more than just one type, it seems.
In the Bible, Daniel had a dream.
It was prophetic, or so it seems.
Others have had similar dreams.
For some people it becomes quite routine.
Like “The Sleeping Prophet”, it seems.
Nightmares though, are worse than dreams.
Always scary, often repeated, gory scenes.
Is it guilt, evil influences, or outside things?
Something is behind these scary scenes.
It is not for me to interrupt dreams.
Stay away from pizza before bed, it seems.
I just want sweet, happy, loving dreams.
I don’t want anything in- be-tween.
As for you, have sweet dreams!!
