Sweet dreams
is irony

dreams aren't meant
for living out
our fantasies

dreams are meant
for living out
our realities

dreams are practice
and we rarely practice
things we enjoy

we practice
riding the bus naked

we practice
losing loved ones

we practice
the mundane, the daily

the "sweet" dream
is a myth

a good dream
is one in which no one died
you wore your clothes
you weren't escaping from anything
you were just going about your business
maybe with an out of place friend or two

think about it though
all your most recent dreams
all the dreams after reading this
how many really quality
as "sweet"

I have my sweetest dreams

While wide awake. Most of my nightmares, too.

hehe...tod said dong.

You're right, it should be be qualify.

Good points you have, Tod. Never thought of it like that.

And, of course, last night I dreamed of death. Though death dreams mean change imo.

I hate dong this

but should quality in the second to last line really be quality, or should it be qualify?

I think the term sweet dreams is more an attempt to stave off the darkness that one can often find in their dreams, like people crossing themselves, or any other act thought to stave off evil deeds, as opposed to thoughts on what dreams actually do.

interesting thoughts though lesse
