At night, I kneel before the dark Say my prayers and park Next to the swimming pool of dreams While losing consciousness I sing songs pretending to be The Dream Master. I dive into the dreamworld Submersing myself into lucidity Attempting to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep. Daytime sleep is different Usually starts around 1 or 2 o’clock, a siesta! Usually, I begin by laying on my back Close my eyes, maybe wear a solid batman mask And prepare myself. There’s a huge pool of dream energy An aquarium bubble on the opposite side of Earth That’s ½ that’s in the dark ... all sleeping In this gigantic Dream Bauble So far away ... I lure it to me Singing my dreamsongs and as I close my eyes I lose clarity then regain it by “seeing” This Dream Bubble floating toward me I reach out and put it on like a backpack A Dream Battery Pack and I’m hooked in So much dream energy pumping thru my brains Both halves being zapped simultaneously So powerful, I only need about 45 minutes to an hour To fully recharge! I love power naps!
