Dark and dismal cloud
Fill the dreamer's head
Twisted thought and sound
The senses are misled
While ideas form in bed
Our deepest wants
Our deepest fears
They come around but once
Bringing joy or a dry tear
Or a scream to your ear
Verse and strange colour
On the lid of a sleeping eye
Make you smile and make you shudder
But in this sleep you never die
It wakes you, asking "Why?"
Sweat and quick breath
Come with the vision of odd
Sights and bizarre deaths
You can dream of a girl's bod
Or see a vision from God
See a ghost or a gun
Darkness coming hard
Watch your mental heaven lose its fun
You become mind-scarred
Scared and mentally marred
Sun comes, light enters
Safety arrives for some
Reality becomes the centre
That you have re-won
Your mind's exercise is done
Guess what I dreamt?
Can you guess what it meant?
