The Dragon Of Your Dreams
(Or, "Turn And Face The Dragon")
Every night when you go to sleep and
dream, you can finally face your fears—
or so it seems! Because we truly are the
hero of our very own tale, which is the
reason, in dreams, we can never truly fail...
...So, no matter what happens to you in such
dramatic ways, you are the one who will
surely save the day! And that is because you
created the whole scene—from beginning
to end and everything in between...
...Thus, when you are perched upon your
fiery steed, and you are being pursued by
"the darkest of deeds," do not despair in
your hour of need! Turn to face this beast
that your pleading does not seem to heed...
...For, he is the dragon of your worst
nightmares and he will totally follow you
quite literally everywhere! And you may try
to escape him—but it's all for not; for, he's
the part of yourself you have totally forgot...
...Thus, he's the part of yourself from a long
time ago when you thought being negative
was "putting on a good show." And you may
have even felt that choosing blame was true
power, only to realize that "The Sons of
Men" had just built "The Babylon Tower"...
...And here's the reason you should turn
and face the dragon; because he's really just
you back when you were "off the wagon!"
So, whenever you are dreaming, always
remember this: the dragon of your dreams
is simply you back when you were miffed!

My Poetic Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: I wrote this poem with "The Dragon" as a symbol of Your Subconscious Mind, when you are dreaming and experiencing "nightmares." In other words, "The Dragon" is your subconsciousness mind being reflected by Your Own Negative Karma while you are dreaming! Thus, there is no need to fear your nightmares since, when you dream, you are seeing Your Subconscious Mind projected in front of you like a movie. And that is why lucid dreaming (or, learning how to control your dreams) is such a good thing to practice when you are dreaming!
And this poem was also published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
