Midnight prowler
will you open this door?
let me in, let me explore
the concealed chambers beneath this conscious floor
let me borrow some of your dreamdust
and sprinkle it in my eyes
therein let me stay confined
then I
fall and br e ak
and s c a t t e r
far and wide
when this becomes a nightmare

i wake up with a start, with my true love lying beside
as i see his peaceful face, i realize
i’ve been dreaming…and everything in my world is alright!

I'm very prone to having nightmares and very often wake up right in the middle of them-very anxious and worried. But one look at my husband (who claims he has a dreamless sleep every night) and i know that everything is okay. The sense of security that his being there, even though he is fast asleep, gives me is beyond description!
