Of Dreams and Nightmares

Its hard to say what it is that we dreamt of when we were kids. Is it this life you are living. Is it something u cant imagine being in. or is it something out of this world, where your mind cannot reach now, with its rotten old pictures of reality. Hard to say what will become of you 5 years from now. Your rarest of rare dreams, or the nightmare you were always afraid of finding yourself in. or will it be both at the same time. Was your dream also your nightmare, disguised with angels where death once stood. In this life full of dreams and nightmares, why is it that we can imagine our fears so much better than our dreams.
