Heavy eyes so tired of crying. So tired of the thoughts running through my mind. Is this real, or am I dreaming? Walking in my mind I find doors that are open, and there are those that are closed. I want to open the closed doors, and close the open doors that brings me heartache. Walking in my thoughts, I see a glimpse of my future. What’s on the other side of them, well I can’t answer that question because I haven’t made it that far in my thoughts yet.

I can hear the rain falling on the roof where I once lived, it sounds beautiful. This must be a dream. Am I asleep with my eyes wide open, or am I really sleep and dreaming within a dream? Now that the rain has stopped, I can feel the warm sun on my face. The air is so fresh and clear; breathe in deeply, can you smell it? I can hear the dogs barking in the distance communicating like they do. It could be that I am remembering a moment in time, but it is partially a dream, and partially reality of my past.

Nightmares of the past raise their heads only to see that I am no longer afraid of them. Walking through the corners of my mind, I find my happy place when I was a child, I see myself playing without a care in the world. This must be a dream. It can’t be real, or could it be. Could it be that I am having a vision of what was, or could have I traveled back in my past to see what I could have done differently to make things better for my life?

Opening my eyes, I can see my life as it is. I am back to the real reality of what is and not what was. It will never be what was again because those days are gone forever. Facing real life is what’s hard, but dreaming is easy. One can wake up from it and never have to worry about it. Visit your past in your dreams. You may never know what you will see about yourself that could help you change your life for the better.
