Jellyfish in the sky

“When we are asleep in this world,

we are awake in another”

 Salvador Dali

It was a dream about reaching the edge of the universe, 

floating through the sky without trying to make sense of it all.

“If I catch that jellyfish I will wake up”, I thought. And I did.

Dreams, in which images, colours, sounds and stories play out in your mind

             sometimes fade before you even open your eyes.

This magical and sometimes alienating world will therefore remain elusive.

Shouldn’t we value to this “invisible” reality more,

this altered  state of consciousness,

which sometimes hovers around you like a fog when you are awake again?
