A dream
Product of a mind
Wandering
A quest to explore
The maze of our thoughts

Be brave

Beyond the wakened realm
Rules
Laws
Logic
Cease to exist
They become a swamp
Clinging to your ankles
Pulling you under

Tread carefully
Be sure of foot
For demons in dreams do dwell
Demons with the face of a mother
A friend
A long deceased relative

Leave fear at the gateway
They are not what they seem

Do you suffer nightmares?

What do you think they are? Messages from your mind? Warnings? The subconscious working through the day's or week's events? Or just the random meanderings of restless thought?

My wife suffers from bad dreams often. Possibly, they're due to her sleep apnea, but they can be quite disturbing. I wish I could take then away.
