I am not talking of the dreams For what you want to do in your life The ones that occur in your sleep But over the past couple of nights I have encountered unwanted dreams A few nights ago I dreamt of being in a plane Going to see the person I love And the plane crashed in a horrific manner Then there is last night’s dream I drove 1500 miles to see the one I love And when I arrived, I held her in my arms And she soon passed away Sobbing while cradled in my arms I don’t want these dreams They’re showing me unwanted ideas Unwanted predictions of the future I wish the happy dreams would come back...

Unwanted Dreams
I am not talking of the dreams For what you want to do in your life The ones that occur in your sleep But over the past couple of nights I have encountered unwanted dreams A few nights ago I dreamt of being in a plane Going to see the person I love And the plane crashed in a horrific manner Then there is last night’s dream I drove 1500 miles to see the one I love And when I arrived, I held her in my arms And she soon passed away Sobbing while cradled in my arms I don’t want these dreams They’re showing me unwanted ideas Unwanted predictions of the future I wish the happy dreams would come back...
The "person I love" has Leukemia and was told she has 6-12 months to live and I would do anything to see her, and in these past dreams, either I have died before I got to her, or I did get to her but she died while in my arms. I hate these dreams...
