On Dreams



…Why…

Good dreams are rare things
Nightmares go on forever...
Only good dreams die young

True...so true. Our brains doing their own thing, working out our anxieties and fears, and yet, rarely, a dream of beauty or pleasure. Why? So vastly complex, beyond understanding. Nice contemplation, David.
