Life Is A Dream

For it is.
Life is but a dream.
But dreams still count.
This dream in particular.

Life is how we perceive it.
We live in our minds.
You determine your life.
No one can do it for you.

Life counts, and so do you.
For you're not the only dreamer.
Our dreams interact with other dreams.
You help others become what they are.

Come, it's not time to wake up yet.
There's so much to do.
For you can influence the dream.
Do the best you can.

Most people don't know they dream.
They do so in ignorance.
Perhaps it's better they don't know.
More bliss to them.

I know I dream.
But I will do what I can.
For this dream is mine.
And I am responsible for it.

Wish me well.
But know you dream too.
And even if you wake up,
You'll still be in my dream.

Life is a dream.
For that is what it is.
But this dream is important to me.
Come, tell me about your dream.

Dreams do count.
