Nightmares Are Dreams

He screams follow your dreams! Nightmares are dreams.
Awake in a cold sweat, try to forget;
The monsters gathering a head of steam.
He screams follow your dreams! Nightmares are dreams.
His mind awash with reams of scary schemes;
Dreaming of frightening images, yet
He screams follow your dreams! Nightmares are dreams.
Awake in a cold sweat, try to forget;

The monsters gathering a head of steam.
He screams follow your dreams! Nightmares are dreams.
His mind awash with reams of scary schemes;
Dreaming of frightening images, yet
Awake in a cold sweat, try to forget;
And give your nightmares no aid and abet.

Insomnia the cure for nightmares, but what's the cure for daytime drowsies. The cure may be worse than the disease. Still I think you were correct in your diagnosis. Thanks for being ever thoughtful. Cheers!

Really emotive, Kenneth -- and brave delving into some greater mysteries of life. We can get nowhere by ourselves.... But, together, no nightmare is too great to meet head-on. The outcome is where faith begins, and God has opportunity to show His Mercy and Love. I have had more than a few of my own. I'm with you in prayer. Blessings my friend!
