Reflections of the Mind

Dreams are what give us inspiration
They give us hope
They reveal our fears
They help solve problems
And are always an original creation
Thrown together by our own mind
No matter how much nonsense is in it
It always makes sense while its happening
They reveal our innermost thoughts
They show us who we really are
Not what we think ourselves to be

While we dream
We are in our own worlds
Where nothing can hurt us
And we are in control
Though the pieces may move on their own
They are still a part of the game that we control
Nothing more than a pawn
A shadow of the real thing
That our mind has created
There we live as we have always wanted
How we've always wished
Alas, that world is not real
Just a part of our own mind
A creation of our own making
Though we never really intended on it

The mind is a wonderous thing
And dreams are part of it
As we sleep, as we dream
We can see some of what happens
Reflections of the mind
Hidden secrets that we keep there
From generations and past lives
Instincts that were drilled into our minds
Memories, thoughts, and emotions
All stored inside

If only we could open the door...
