Theme For A Dream

There are dreams that make you nervous, evoke fear and even invoke a 'thank you god' for not being true- which make you get up in the middle of the night and reach for the wood on the side of the bed.

And then there are dreams which are the casual continuation of your day, which really happen when you have been over sleeping say on a Sunday and so your sleeping time and waking time really merges and starts playing tricks on you. Dreams where the dog is whimpering to be let out and you get up and see a puddle on the floor, or dreams where your mobile is ringing and you are woken up by mom holding the land line with your bestfriend's call who is wondering whether all is well with you (you don't usually ignore eight of her calls within an hour)

Then there are those nice relaxing dreams akin to the small joys in life where you enjoy a chocolate truffle like really eat it , taste it and all that and just before you can start feeling guilty you wake up and smile to yourself .

And then there are dreams from which you just don't want to wake up- and in case you wake up you want to go right back into sleeping - hoping against hope that you could go back to enjoying the reverie even if for a few more minutes- dreams where everyone suddenly realizes your true worth- where all the worthwhile men in the world recognize you for the Greek goddess you are and are falling at your feet to make up for lost time.

But the most exhilarating dream for me is the one in which I can fly. It always begins in the same way . I am walking really fast and then begin running. I feel completely weight less and then rise above the ground. I open my arms and they feel like wings. I feel the air pressure which helps lift me up and then its like I am flying. Really flying - feeling the wind, looking at the world beneath, soaring .

It is exhilarating. A weightlessness of spirit. Beyond words. It is worth experiencing.
So there really is a whole different thing I mean when I sing to myself
I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky
