Dreams are
Fragments of memory
Voices from the past
Whispers of the future
Our best recollections and
Our worst experiences.
So simple, yet so complex,
They hold a cunning, mysterious grip over us.
We claim to understand them,
But I think that it is
They
Who understand
Us.

One night I had an interesting dream. I couldn't figure out its meaning. When I finally realized what had triggered it, I was dumbfounded. I hadn't realized that a dream could see right into my heart that easily.
