Sweet Dreams are Made of This:

(with thanks to Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart)

Deep within sleep, one can find safety or fear,
pleasure or pain, memory or loss.

Sleep can comfort, caress, disturb or delight
prod or poke, swaddle or drown.

Slumber can clarify or confuse, cause damage or heal,
energise or de-tense, teach or defeat.

In dreams we remember, re-join, and resolve;
our subconscious refreshed and restored.

With sleep we repair, we revive, we grow;
without it we wither, we diminish, we die.
