Dreams Within Dreams

“what is this strange place, we find ourself in
we are trapped in the open, free within”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dreams within dreams, what is reality
We shift from one dream into another
Thought forms renew in continuity 
We are both conjurer and prisoner

Resting thought based inquiry stuporous
We shift into tranquil void of silence
Wiped clean of ego is our consciousness 
Free from illusion, pristine innocence 

What we call waking but another dream
Beautifully crafted for our pleasure
Bewitched by images, we ourself do stream
False identity, lowers our stature

Save in the void of silence and stillness 
Dream sequences block union with oneness
