lucid dream.

suddenly realizing
that it’s all just a dream
and that’s why
nothing makes sense

because there is no sense
to be made
when everything’s illogical

no order
no rules
at least nothing real

but also
no understanding
and no control

unless of course
control is only
an intangible
idea of the mind

and the things we think are possible
may not be so
while absurdity
is all we truly know

once you realize you’re dreaming
exercise caution
because moving too quickly
will wake you up

slowly tread forward
manifesting any reality you want
it will all
fall into place

but there is limited time
the clock is ticking
too slowly
and you’ll have wasted your chance

thinking that
you must abide by
imaginary rules
and ever changing social norms
