sleep is the BALM! that eases my sore and tired mind.     in dreams, i am a high priest, a prince, an astronaut,         a ditch digger => anything i want.     a deep snooze in dreamtime can be the ultimate         fashion consultant and spiritual therapist.     the brain is billions of square miles of territory,         where we mostly huddle in one little spot while awake,         next to the nearest campfire we see.     sleep opens up all that turf to our exploration;         we can zoom around the multiverse         that's stacked inside each of our heads         and see what our internal alternate reality holds.     there are no demons there but of our own making,         and they're conquerable by any of the dream weaponry         that we choose to pick up.     slumber unlocks the ultimate dominion         reigned by our own selves. -- by Fred T.
