DREAMS WITHIN DREAMS
DREAMS WITHIN DREAMS
I’d just assumed that dreams were in one dimension
But last night, I dreamed that I was dreaming again
Looking back at it now, I know that it sounds insane
But as a world within a world, it can addle the brain
Yet in either dream, there was no detectable tension
For some, it’s hard to separate a dream from reality
And for a few, rare to know if they dreamed at all
Like finding oneself observing at a masquerade ball
With your entrance made through a crumbling wall
But a single dream, however strange, is not plurality
To many, such weird claims might deserve contempt
Just how many planes of a dream can there really be
But explaining it to oneself is never as simple as ABC
As in any dream state the brain can always float free
Yet who can truly remember all of the layers dreamt
