Bizarre Dreams

I go to sleep at night with nothing on my mind,
But feel like sometimes my thoughts are in rewind.
I have these dreams that don't make any sense,
Never remember the whole thing only a glimpse.
Most of the time they have people in them from my past,
I only remember pieces because they seem to move so fast.
Other times I wouldn't even know who you are,
All I know is they are very bizarre.
Maybe the dreams are a sign that something's wrong,
Because I haven't talked to these people in so long.
God could be sending me a message wanting me to reach out to them,
Maybe I could be the only one to help them.
The dreams seem so real like they are actually happening,
Then I wake and realize that I was only dreaming.
This has been on my mind for days,
Making me start feeling some kind of way.
I'm trying to search inside myself for answers,
Because maybe these dreams do matter.
I don't understand what they mean,
I'm racking my brain because every night it's become a routine.
The dreams might be different but still just one big mess,
But it has the same people in them, I must confess.
It's been weighing heavy on my mind with its understanding,
I have to find out before I lose my sanity figuring out the meaning.
Night after night I have these dreams,
Different scenario but always about the same thing.
It's starting to make me question what is the deal,
At times I wonder why they feel so real.
It's relevant that I need to try to uncover what's true,
Because I'm at a point now where I don't know what to do.
I need clarity so I can get a good night's rest.
If this is another sign of my strength, I think I've failed the test.
