Dreams Are Just Dreams

No matter how silly you think it is Tell us your favourite dream There's nothing that can surprise us Heard lots of tales and schemes! How about one where you're flying Surveying the country below Maybe you're ruler of a distant land With a magic wand that glows! Or what if you could be the captain Of a great ocean going liner A clown in a colourful marching parade Could there be anything finer? Bet you haven't thought of this one A drummer in a rock 'n roll band Or how about a pitcher for the Yankees A lifeguard all muscled and tanned! Have you ever wished you were Santa Handing out Christmas prizes Or an opera singer like Pavarotti A super hero with many disguises! I guess all of this just goes to prove No matter how hard you scheme It's best to be just the person you are After all, dreams are only dreams!

Hi Jack,I dreamed that I was called on stage to sing with Ray Charles.The dream was so real all aspirations of being a singer fell to the wayside as I knew it would never hold a candle to that fanciful,fantastic night.Saw him late in life at a free concert below the arch in St. Louis.He walked to the edge of the stage and during a moment of silence I screamed out,I love you Ray Daddy.He hugged himself and said ,I love you too.

WOW What a fantastic dream! I've had a similar dream with Harry Belafonte! As a teenager I attended a live performance of Harry and that night I dreamt I was on stage with him! The mind plays funny tricks!!! Love, Jack XOX

Ah, but sometimes dreams are what we really long to be, Jack. And, you can be anything you want to be in your dreams. I have truly exciting, marvelous dreams, and I am sad when I wake up. Or, I'm angry when I can't recover it after it is gone. Good writing, my friend.
