Dream Slot Machine

Having a dream,

It's a mental slot machine.

 

The slots are memories,

And sights and sounds.

 

They keeping turning 'round,

Till a dream is found

And if it's a bust?

You're asleep and can't make a fuss.

 

You dream on 'cause you have to.

You have no say.

Like a gamble it's hard to walk away.

 

Sometimes you go bankrupt and get no dreams at all,

Or hit jackpot and wake up while you're still enthralled.

Author's Note

I think i'm developing serious gambler mentality.

This rocked! Dreaming is like a gamble because you cannot choose the outcome. I loved the analogies, great read!
