The Stuff Of Dreams

When we sleep, we dream; and emptying our souls, thoughts pour out; tumbling freely from one to the next. Dreams interact with a multitude of conflicting emotions; as they flitter and flutter like butterflies, within the garden of our subconscious mind. Fantasy is the absence of reality; creating a phantasmagorical playground, limited only by imagination. And dreams invite us to step through the looking glass; and follow Alice into Wonderland. Plugged into our psyche; dreams connect our minds to an imaginary world, unlike any other. A jumbled mix of vague interactions, dreams are phantom thoughts that manifest; rummaging through our mind's vault; filled with secret hopes and fears. And as opposed to delusion; dreams, buttress fantasy illusions, with recognizable truths.

I love the representation of the truth behind this universe in dreams. Some times we are left to wonder whether reality is subjective or a facade in our lives. Congratulations on your win Emile :)
