A Gift Poem by Daniel Brick
A Gift
To _____
I've decided to let you
dream my dreams, all of them.
My past dreams will descend
the slope of my mind and
be washed in the waters of
consciousness, and then enter
your sleep with a gentleness
that will not disturb your rest.
Future dreams will flash by and
then hide in your mind until
the right night arrives.
Only present dreams are too shy
to expose themselves. You will
have to be patient until they
become past dreams...
If you had not seen my body
twist and shift in troubled
sleep, you would not believe
I have the character of a dreamer.
Only a dream can soothe a troubled
heart, only a dream can provide us
with the weaponry of dreaming.
So - accept this gift readily.
Take it into your Dream Treasury
to preserve the wholeness of your
Dream Life. Be at peace...
hey, daniel! lately my dreams—or the ones i remember—have been of the kind to make me appreciate my waking reality. of the kind that warm and inspire, yes, they are heartening; these the kind i'm more likely to put in verse. may your dreams lift and comfort you. -glen
That's a blessing, Glen. In the language of science, your conscious and unconscious mind(s) are in sync, with the unconscious casting up images drenched in primordial energy that your conscious mind can shape and reshape according to the needs of the Spirit. This is truly, as you say, a " heartening" experience.
Only a dream can soothe a troubled heart, only a dream can provide us with the weaponry of dreaming. So - accept this gift readily. Take it into your Dream Treasury to preserve the wholeness of your Dream Life. Be at peace... - - - A wonderful poem on dream.

Your Interior Life is an uninterrupted flow from conscious to unconscious mind(s) , those two dimensions of our intellectual apparatus in sync. I find this just a wonderful pairing of the natural and the supernatural, to the benefit of both. There i so much creative potential in applying your larger meaning of DREAM.
