It's a Dream Life

Have you ever had that dream?
You know the one:
You have a job to do, but you're not quite sure what it is.
Or how to do it.
Or why it's important.
Or what to do it with.
Or where.
But you know it's important.
And everyone's angry.
And it's your fault it hasn't been done.

Have you ever had that dream?
You know the one:
Someone's telling you something really important.
But you can't hear them.
And when you can, you can't understand the language.
And when you can, you can't hold on to the meaning.
And when you can, you forget it right away.
And you remember much later that there was something important.
But it's too late.

Other people say they dream of flying.
I dream of dreaming of swooping and gliding.
Other people say they dream of talking to important people.
They dream of being there with them:
Treated as important,
Their opinions listened to,
Their anger valid and relevant,
Their ideas acted upon by others.

Have you ever had that dream?
You know the one.
Everyone's angry with you, but you don't know why.
Nobody will tell you what you said.
Nobody will tell you what you did.
Nobody will tell you what rule you broke.
Nobody will tell you what you should have done.
Nobody will accept your apology for ... something really bad, apparently.
It's all your fault and you have no idea why.

It's a Dream Life.
