Away With Worry: Dreaming
Angela Black contemplates the messages in dreams.
How do I know if I'm dreaming
When there's the detail, depth and feeling
That I have when fully awake
And if "real life'' can be so
How can I be sure I'm not dreaming
When in the morning I wake
Is it life or a dream...it's give or take.
We learn from dreams, that's what they're for
They say yes or no, approve or deplore
Catch them quick or away they fly
Dreams come in symbols, disguise, or
Sometimes hidden in metaphor.
But why should this be so?
No one so far seems to know.
I must intepret what I am dreaming
to recognise those who are scheming
behind my back, to do me ill
and recognise those who are faithfull, full of good will.
