Dreamer
To sleep, perchance to dream of a thousand
worlds and a thousand faces.
Is the dream more real than the dreamer?
The dreamer, like a spider, spins the dream
in patterns beautiful from its own substance
and yet knows it not.
Remember oh dreamer that all dreams must
end with the coming of the dawn.
In the glow of dawn silken threads of dreams
become illumined and transparent.
Arise, awake, oh dreamer of dreams. The time
of sleeping has passed.
Rise fully into knowledge and glory eternal.
The dream was your own creation in the sleep
of unknowing. In the dawn of knowing, dreams
fade as shadows before the sun.
Arise, Awake, oh dreamer of dreams, the time
of sleeping has passed.
