Freud's Hidden Meaning of Daydreams and Actuality
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 12 years.
In the land between fantastical dreams and reality
Narratives where reasonable people are involved in the insane
And ridiculous moments they wouldn't have any part of in real life
Taking part in a Maury episode as a campy guest star
Trapped in a parody type of plot twist only Hollywood created
Hard to understand what the narrative represented
Was it the medicine or a deeper anxiety not explored?
Cannot determined the root cause of the bizarre Predator subplot either
Except no action movies before bedtime anymore
Focus on comedies and talk show reruns to fall asleep to
Dreams show how we can become our part and worst selves subconsciously
Without intended to bring any of that stuff to the surface
Found a greater conflict than any superhero movie villain
Could garner without even trying to cause global destruction
A quiet battle set on a low simmering boil on the stove
Struggle between idealized daytime wishes with everyday life
Being able to be your truest of identities on a fixed income of sorts
Not retired, just being fiscally responsible to the point of penny-pinching
Dreamt of having a 3 year old mini me that was soothing and frightening all at once
Loved kids but didn't know how to apply in a micro managed environment
Where everything was controlled and relatively orderly
Unsure of how to handle any messes or imperfections of any kind
Also told once by a doctor that my genes too flawed to ever have a child
Would be considered a blessing to not reproduce then to go through with it
Dream dashed out of fear and a healthy dose of selfishness
Too much of an emotional knot to even think about another life
Have to get things straight before taking any drastic steps
Don't want to shut the door on any decision, but opportunity and desire fading
Faster than the sand in Days of Our Lives' hourglass
Focused on getting through life one millimeter at a time
One white New Balance shoe in front of the other
Just not tripping over any untied shoelaces
Hand-eye coordination important part of getting through this conundrum of an existence
At least, until the next dream runs rampant.
