The Beyond Within

Within all of us there is a fantastic dream world It reveals itself at night As the mind works out its problems through vivid imagery The beyond within has its own set of rules Visions come to us all under cover of darkness People we have lost come to us at night In our dreams we relive beautiful moments of childhood Our pain is often reveled to us at night For dreams are not all pretty Yet even the unsettling ones Lead us to new space, new freedom

Yes, Matthew....your poem is so revealing of this mysterious phenomenon. Dreams give us joy and sorrow. I see my Mama in my dreams....She passed on in 2000. I love seeing her again. I feel again the connection. Thanks for this intriguing write.

Dreams have always been a fascination for me. So many theories. We actually know very little about them. Maybe that is the reason for my curiosity. Great poem, Matthew and a great subject.
