dream quest

i do most of my work
when i am awake
grounded
mindful…
it’s not that i am not
a dreamer
i am so totally
a dreamer
but i leave my dreams
for dreaming
& do my work
with pen & paper
with body & mind
with heart & soul
alert
&
connected
to the world
around
me.

i have a friend who does so so so much dreamwork. she is always meeting up with ancestors & getting important messages…. at first i thought i was defective because my dreams are more like post-it notes from my subconscious or straight up strange fiction. running from zombies & chasing llamas who turn into pheasants….
but then i realized i do what she does–just not when i’m sleeping.
i would be fucking exhausted if i did not use my sleep for sleeping.
i work on myself all day long…i need my nights for recovery.
