He wants to learn how lucid dreaming works,
\nAs if it were a magic trick that could be taught.
\nBut I have always welcomed things that lurk
\nBeneath the surface of a conscious thought.<\/p>\n
It feels like cowardice to wake within a dream –
\nManipulating characters and plot,
\nDefanging monsters. Frightful though they seem,
\nPulse-racing, layered lessons can’t be fought.<\/p>\n
Once upon a dream, I thought I saw him –
\nHe moved his lips, as if in prayer, to speak
\nI could not hear; I could not move a limb,
\n“I cannot give the answers that you seek.”<\/p>\n
Unthinking I reached out a hand to him;
\nI dreamt a dream and dragged him deep within.<\/p>\n
