Confusing a Dream

There are sleeping dreams and waking dreams. What seems is not always as it seems and dreams are never as they seem. I dream a waking dream while I sleep and I dream a sleeping dream when I wake.
My mind is confused because my dreams are a muddle. I fear to dream a midnight dream and I fear to dream a waking dream. I fear to sleep and I fear to wake. I may be confusing my days with my nights. Or, maybe my life has slipped away and in the after world the days are nights and nights are days. Or, maybe there is no day and no night, but a twilight somewhere in between. A twilight where sleeping dreams are really waking dreams leaving my mind to wonder and wander through a world of cockamamie.

    You've captured so well the confusion of half-sleep and half-consciousness.

    Thanks Jabby,
    Since I am always in the half and half world I find it easy to capture things there.
