MARCH 17th

This morning I awakened
from night dreams
into the larger day dream of life

Now I long to awaken further
from this mysterious
dream realm of “reality”

Into the true “awakening”
of consciousness without thought

        There are “awakened” beings who have described our everyday reality as a dream, and the state of consciousness without thought as being “awake.” The analogy of waking from a dream is a good way to look at our process of awakening. We go from our normal thought-made reality into that higher state of peace and bliss beyond the cloud cover of our thoughts and feelings.

Dreaming can seem so real, yet as we emerge into our normal state we know it was a dream. Waking up to who we really are is but waking up from this vivid dream of life into consciousness itself. It is within this awakened Consciousness that all dreams are taking place—and waiting for the morning light.
