A Living Dream

I was asleep for a while
And I saw a dream…. is it a dream?
This engiven reality… yet how?
Did I believe it a self of within?

An indifference to see but myself
A difference without life, without death
How is this somewhere else?
A dream… yet life to live to have

And I share the pain from without
I cherish what my friends perhaps have had
One dream… one life walking about
Did we all have lives without accidents we bled?

If I dreamt… I have lived
If I live… did I know I dream?
What have I done for myself to believe?
Where belongs the world I have been?

I was alive for a while
And I have a life… did I live within?
Some engiven dream… somehow
Some dream perhaps… I did not dream
