Who are you people ? What is this place?? It's ...it's incredible... it's amazing !!! The most amazing thing I've ever seen    in my whole life Ha! Ha! Ha! It's mad...yea! it's crazy It's Night...right!! But here! Here! a    whole City in broad daylight People going about their business...    faces I've never seen before What is this place! Who are you    people! I'm asleep but... but I'm awake, wide    wide awake I'm here! Now!!! Looking out... at this     right here before me It's strange...'cos I don't feel like I have    a body or a face It's like I'm just an Eye...an Eye looking        out But look! I can move, I can move And I'm tired, tired of these dreams, I've had them before What good are they, yea! their    fantastic and all that But their useless, quite quite useless You know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna go up to one of these guys    and I'm gonna grab him Gonna shake him! Shake him hard!!! Make him help me. So I go up to one of them, this guy, and he turns and    looks at me He looks right at me... "Back in my world", I say, " back there,    I work, I suffer, I struggle Every day trying to keep body and    soul together Can you help me? Won't you help me?    Won't you..." And... and he looks at me with these...    these anxious eyes With real fear in his eyes I say "What do you see when you look    at me.  What do you see ? (A mortal man from the world of men) Why do you suddenly look so afraid ? What... what do you see !!!"

I get funny dreams at night sometimes (if I quiet my mind for long periods), I call them "conscious' dreams, you actually wake up in your own dreams, become completely conscious in your own dreams or maybe a place beyond dreams themselves. Their amazing to look at but unfortunately they don't help you in any way, don't give you the Lotto numbers or the name of a winning horse LOL. This is a poem about a time I was struggling in life & got one of these dreams and was so annoyed at their seeming unconcern that I decided to go up to one of the characters in the dream and grab him and make him help me. Quite Twilight Zoney this.
