Do I dream or am I dreamt

sonnet in tetrameter

 

Do I dream or am I dreamt?

 

Surrealistic landscapes can

 appear to be reality.

Scenes never seen by any man.

I can imagine easily.

Strange planets occupied

 by aliens hostile to men

At other times I’m satisfied

 to see the mountains once again.

I’m in control I can dictate

 exactly what I wish to see.

I only need to concentrate

 and set my questing spirit free.

When I dream I dream lucidly

 unless someone is dreaming me.

Very thought provoking. I like it. It begs a serious question: Are we in control, or is someone controlling us?
Or, it can just be read for fun, making it appealling to another whole group of readers.
