dreams

i don't dream much. in fact, you could say i rarely ever dream. i have this problem with sleep - it doesn't like me. when i do sleep it seems dreamless. however, every once in a while i have a dream. they are vivid, they are tactile experiences with real people and emotions, and, when i awake i remember. i had one of those on saturday. i thought on it for two days before i finally penned it at 2:30 in the morning two nights ago. as i wrote it out, the details became more and more clear. as far as dreams go this one was not finished. it was about my life, and things that will be. now some people believe there is significance to dreams, others think they are our subconscious expressing our thoughts, desires and fears. i honestly don't know, i think it is a little of both. this dream swept me away into things i had been considering and choices i will be making; and then, ever so stoically, deposited me back on the very spot i had been before the dream. offering neither insight nor understanding.

so it makes me wonder if there was purpose in this dream or if it was just the leftover thoughts rattling around in my head. either way, it plays out a scenario that i approach with much trepidation and prayer. perhaps it will offer clarity in time. regardless, here i stand and there i will walk.
