Dream Revelation

That blasted recurring dream!
Time after time, the lair appeared;
and he was a huge movie star, 
but I couldn’t recall his name.

The teasing, taunting, lying jerk;
night after endless night, 
he haunted my subconscious; 
making and breaking promises,
that I seemed to crave hearing, from him.

I couldn’t understand, 
why I kept having that blasted dream; 
I don’t even know that,
he was a real star; 
he was in the dream, though.

Now, dreams have a funny way,
of presenting archetypes;
mind came up with some…doozies.
Imagine my surprise,
when I realized that,
he was me;
deceiving myself.
