The night was calm and peaceful.
Sounds suppressed by the dim moon light.
Not even a sound of the blowing breeze.

Soundly asleep in the bed.
A safe haven made of security and warmth.
Dreams awake from their cages.
Like deranged animals.
The beasts of creativity
Taking over.

A battle arises between them.
The sweet dreams that pleasure us.
The nightmares that that strike fear.
They clash, leaving behind rubble.

Fear rises quickly,
Awakening from the deep trance.
The heart throbs as adrenaline rushes.
Thoughts of reality settle in.

I think to myself,
This was only a dream.
