Have you ever had a dream that continues to repeat itself over weeks, then months, maybe even into years?

The challenge with this thing is the retaining of it. I think we're all wired to try to make sense of our unconscious selves. But for me the trick has been the memory part. Pulling enough of the images, sounds and story line of a dream you have repeatedly out into the real world where you can remember enough of it to try to make more sense of it.

I finally achieved that about a month back. I remembered enough to put it into words (lyrics really) that actually mean something at least to me.

Below is the rough draft. It will get massaged and flipped over time and some of it will likely end up in song..

Each night I wander the halls of my old school
And I wonder as I wander every room..

Why do I bother and why am I there?
Why do I return? Trying to find home again…

But, was it ever?
For I'm lost now more than ever!
Trying to get more clean
I just dirty myself up

And I can't wake up…

I've lost all my belongings
Along with my ticket to the train

And look, my phone won't work again

When I try to call family or friend
No more than a few words come thru

And the joke of it all is…
My waking hours seem no different!

Sunlight spent chasing only after shadow
Or just monkeying around after dreams
That were never very serious

But here is what I have found..

Whether by day or by night
I feel like I am just a stranger among phantoms
Ever searching for home, I am always, always in the wrong place..

And nothing works
No one helps
I am on my own…
