On the tip of your brain; in the back of your mind; laying just beneath the surface are your dreams. Sometimes easily recalled, most times easily forgotten.
They often return — or perhaps, you return — and in that moment the dream is comfortable, familiar… remembered by that piece of you that travels to another realm every night. The piece of you that is ever present, yet often forgotten itself.
Easily recalled dreams tend toward the obvious, or confusing. Either your mind is working out a problem, or sending you a message in strange symbolism, that is difficult to unravel. You ponder the meaning for days, only half the time actually getting the message. Most dreams disappear into the ethers like puffs of smoke. You are aware of the plume, yet cannot grasp it. A glimpse, an image, or perhaps a word swirls in the conscious mind and just as you attempt to grab hold, it dissipates once more.
The Forgotten Dream had all the answers, if only you could remember the questions. The Forgotten Dream showed you the cosmos, if only you could recall the journey. The Forgotten Dream reveals the mysteries of life, if only you could clarify the picture.
You continue the search in the waking world for all the dream world contains. As you are keenly aware, the waking world does not compare. Filled with distractions, concrete and tangible, familiar and seemingly un-magical the waking world does not hold the key. Only in slumber, only in dreams long forgotten is the mystery revealed.
