It Came In Our Dreams


“It Came in Our Dreams”

The Others 
watch on,
somewhere above us.

we, ant like
form our battalions
soldier ants 
with no substantial sting
repelling reptilian 
brains in flight
striking our oily deals 
sliding into our nightmares, 
acrid smoke, bee-keeping our hives
we strike, in routine formations

they count 
our worth.
our number 
measured
in what always
walks alone
in our dreams.

they send
their messengers
to us, in our dreams,

while we 
war
in our sleep,
in the depth 
of our despair
in the flow, 
of our dreams. 

when we wake
we think,
that was so real -
what was that all about, 
that was so real,
where are we - 
are we really here? 

they count 
our worth
our number 
measured 
in what always 
walks alone
in our dreams. 

we 

are more 
vulnerable
than we believe.
we are seen 
for what we truly are
human - 
the fabric of us, flimsy -

easy 
and dispensable.

for a while 
we 
think,
we are 
all 
there is -
unique, 

in truth, 
we ...
lack originality.

wars 
of the unreal,
Nuremberg 1541
there have always been battles,
could this 
have been real, 
or just a dream

Tic-tac-toe 

we think we 
know 
it all 

battles come and go

what is drawing us
forward and up 
out of our bodies,
from the too deep dream 
we toss and turn 
in our sleep, nightmares
easy regiments -
dispensable, flimsy

souls
without feet.

one war down
another
to go.

It came in our dreams

UFO’s apart, which is always intriguing, as a collective there does not seem to be visible progress in love enablement of mankind, unless optimists affirm it’s the latent heat stage.

True. Throw in a few more reptilians from off planet, might change our love for each other. There is good and evil in all things, even off-planet. What we all need is a hellelujah of a 2nd coming with its thunderbolts directed at Putin's a** and a few other worldly demons on the loose. It's in the script, which means it's sure to be televised.

Frightening, yet fascinating. Bowie fits well with the theme, at present.

"In the threatening situation of the world today, when people are beginning to see that everything is at stake, the projection-creating fantasy soars beyond the realm of earthly organizations and powers into the heavens, into interstellar space, where the rulers of human fate, the gods, once had their abode in the planets.... Even people who would never have thought that a religious problem could be a serious matter that concerned them personally are beginning to ask themselves fundamental questions. Under these circumstances it would not be at all surprising if those sections of the community who ask themselves nothing were visited by `visions,' by a widespread myth seriously believed in by some and rejected as absurd by others." C. G. Jung, in Flying Saucers
