Questions of Schrodinger

What if I dreamt of a cat? Would it be alive? It now exists in the past With all the memories in my mind And with brain it did act Does it matter if it was mine? But then could I say for a fact If it was one of a kind? Or if I followed the tracks Would myself be all I find? What if I never woke up? And all I knew were dreams? Would I be less alive? Than I was in your reality? If I keep my eyes shut Could I stay in my own scenes? Or if given enough time Would they start tearing at the seams? I wish I had a cat To hold in my own hands And to pet it as I sat Knowing just where I am Maybe then at last I'd be rescued from the damned The poor souls still attached To what they can't understand
