You are only the part that receives
in dreams
like waking thoughts,
one half of the brain receives
the other generates feeling and light (or maybe lets in feeling and light)
the reception is translated into language and emotions
light of varying colors, positions, brightness and size is made in 3 dimensions
and your overall feelings permeate like gas, drifting, mixing to become new stimuli
you receive, you perceive, generating a dream reality feedback loop
your attempt to make sense of these bright inks and nebulous gasses mixing
gives them form and purpose as an experience
and you pass through them, perceiving, translating, reacting
your practiced thought patterns react like involuntary muscle contractions
propelling your newly created experience forward in as logical a manner as possible, til the feedback loop breaks
your reactions to the extremes of this experience are the most important thing to understand
--
the potential of the one thing
growing in so many directions
until action prunes them
they are all real
--
i am
somewhere passing
beneath the surface of this skin
behind the eyes
in both hands sometimes
