a core of self-

a core of self-deception

dreams: "transitional states of consciousness 
at the verge of sleep."
time and space,
unnatural phenomena, the dark side,
ghosts, and the supernatural
dwell in our dreams 
but dreams are much more than that.

our hopes resemble a retrospective mirror --
merely wishful thinking.
moral dilemmas, perceptions of others,
all mold our inspirations, images, and thoughts.
the purification and purging of one's self,
entering a consciousness never before entered.
identity crisis, maturation, 
narcissism, distortions, and delusions of the world.
a short-term mnemonic reality.

Another kinda dismal one. Can't we all just be Happy ;)
