The Stuff Dreams are Made Of

You know about re-ocurring dreams? I usually have those, and they’re not exactly dreams per-se more like Nightmares. I’ve been having Nightmares ever since I was a small girl, I would sometimes wake up from a violent jerk in my sleep or wake up facing the wall standing up in bed (literally). I’ve always had this thing with Nightmares, I usually don’t have nice dreams, the ones where everything is magical and one has the ability to fly or talk to fish, no, not for me, most of the times I’m struggling to save my life. But when I’m not fighting off demons, in those rare moments when I’m not afraid, I actually sometimes dream of something beautiful. The reason why I bring up the re-ocurring dreams subject is because I’ve been having some re-ocurring dreams myself lately, but I don’t know if I could actually call them re-ocurring, because there’s always a different and ever-changing scenario, but the person in my dreams is always constant. The thing that always dazzles me about those dreams, are the colors, those beautiful warm, hazy colors, that mist that engulfs my sleeping eyes is just so lucious that it makes me want to forget of what I’m doing at the moment and just remember the Smell of the colors. Oh yes… smell… in my dreams my sense of smell is so keen it can even pick up the trace scent of colors, and the smell of skin is just so overwhelming that by just remembering that odour brings goose-bumps to my pale skin. Those dreams are the ones that make me a constant Daydreamer, I’m the kind of person you see in the classroom just looking out the window or just directly into the vast nothingness that is the blackboard, I think there’s nothing more dream-inspiring that blackboards, don’t you? They’re just something you can stare at, and I mean really stare at for a loooong long time and then *puff* three hours have gone past and it’s time for breakfast. But anyway, we’re all here for the music, and these song remind me of the hazy colors in my dreams.

The song makes its imprint
in the air, making itself felt,
a felt world. Here, there,
the stunned silence

of knowing I will not remember
what I heard;

futures that will never happen,
a fluidity we cannot achieve
except as a child
creating possibility.

This is the untranslatable song
hidden in the earth.
