I had a dream that seemed so real,
it’s quite a story to tell
In short, I dreamt that I didn’t exist,
my body an empty shell!
I sensed a presence that seemed to glow
in the background of all I felt
It never spoke yet it was quite clear
that as it grew I would melt
I was terrified I would disappear,
an imposter take my place
But as time went on I felt more peace
with even a smile on my face
The last thing I remember before I awoke
was that I felt I could never die
It was then I remembered who I’ve always been
and that my real name was simply ‘I’
The lingering feeling I’m experiencing now
was that something of my dream was true
And I’m left with a puzzle I can’t figure out,
just who does this ‘I’ refer to?
