The Dreamer

Are we dreaming we are awake, or is it the other way round?

I dreamed I woke within a dream,

And then again, within that dream,

Peeling back the onion layers,

Reeling from the nightmare,

I floated up towards the light,

All was black, and now it's white,

I dreamed I slept within a sleep,

Sinking down to levels deep,

Whichever one I choose to see,

This is my reality.
