Since the age of five
The same dream has visited me every night I've slept with a fever
A lucid dream
Mindlessly wondering for all these years
What does this dream mean?

The fever approaches
I am eager to sleep that night
I know exactly where I'll be going

The color scheme is Sepia
I am living on the prairie
About 30 years old
I am calm and full of peace
Content
I am sitting on a rocking chair on a porch
The view is impeccable
Beautiful open land
And a serene sunset to match
I feel I am one with my surroundings
I have been here my whole life and don't know any different
Nor do I feel as if I want to know any different
I am home
The scene quickly fades
A new one arises

I am now sitting inside my home at table
Turned to the side
There is a barrel full of water in front of me
I am wringing a rag
Washing clothes with my hands
I sense I am a mother
Once again
The scene fades
A new vision is present

Holding a rake
Raking the fields for crops
I look up and see my home
Small and cozy
I sense the feeling of pure comfort
The sun is warm
I somehow am aware that I have a family
Yet I never see them

I have no thoughts during this dream
I only feel
The dream hasn't changed once
And my fevers never fail to take me back
To what I firmly believe
Was my *past life
