I had a dream I was naked in town
And I was late for school as well
An unconscious strain in my brain
Likely, preparing me for a livin’ hell
I wet the bed, and the doctor said
“Has the child also been lighting fires
Harming animals or himself
As we no longer use electrodes for rewires”
But as it transpires
The doctors were liars
Too much faith in their highers
Old professors and brainy friars
That’s when I first realized
Why the Crown needed those in the church
They were the only ones
Who could read and write
Required for medical and scientific research
Previously, your king
Was too busy fighting
But then a new thing
Reading and writing
The brightest and best
What a duet, to test
Luckily for me, I kept my head
And have since remained somewhat aware
Of the subtle, deep lessons learned
Consciousness-less, in a nightmare
“We also live in our dreams
We do not live only by day
Sometimes we accomplish
Our greatest deeds in dreams.”
Is what Jung had to say
Still now even hardcore materialist neural scientists
Who kill consciousness while slicing up brains
Have no choice, but to construe, what is true
From worlds their minds create, again and again
We underestimate the power of creative sentients
Forgetting that what we create, may not be true
So it took centuries to realize that, consciousness
Came in a range of states, not just two
Though altered states, man creates the best fates
Worlds just as believable as ‘The’ world itself
Representing reality, is as easy as ‘can be’
Dare I say, I could do it in my sleep myself
