I had a dream so wild and strange,

I couldn't believe it when I woke.

I was flying through the air with grace,

But my body was a heavy cloak.

I soared above the clouds so high,

The world below was but a blur.

I felt alive, I felt so spry,

But then I looked and saw a blur.

I tried to focus, tried to see,

But everything was spinning round.

I closed my eyes and counted to three,

But when I opened them, I was on the ground.

I looked around, confused and dazed,

Trying to make sense of what I saw.

The landscape was so bizarre,

I couldn't tell if I was in a foreign land or not.

Everything was upside down,

The sky was green and the grass was blue.

I pinched myself, hoping I'd be found,

Waking up from this strange, crazy dream that's true.

But no, it wasn't meant to be,

I was stuck in this alternate realm.

I wandered through the twisted, twisted trees,

Hoping to find some sense of helm.

I stumbled upon a talking bear,

He had a top hat and a cane.

I asked him if he knew where,

I could find a way back to my own plane.

He chuckled and tipped his hat,

"You're in a dream, my dear.

There's no way back, you're stuck in that,

But don't despair, just let it steer."

I sighed and sat down on a log,

This dream was just too much to bear.

But then I had an epiphany,

If I'm just dreaming, why should I care?

I stood up tall and grinned so wide,

I was the master of my fate.

I could fly or swim or slide,

I could do anything, it was great!

So I danced and sang and laughed,

I had the best time of my life.

And when I woke, I was half-sad,

That it was just a dream and not my life.

But the memory stays with me still,

Of that wild and crazy night.

I'll never forget the thrill,

Of having the power to take flight.

The memory stays with me still,

Of that wild and crazy night.

I'll never forget the thrill,

Of having the power to take flight.

I soared through the air with ease,

The wind rushing through my hair.

I was free, I was at peace,

In this dream, I had no care.

But alas, all good things must end,

And eventually, I had to wake.

I opened my eyes, and up I ascend,

Leaving the dream world in my wake.

But the memories linger on,

Of the talking bear and upside down world.

I smile to myself, it was quite a fun,

Crazy dream, forever to be twirled.

I may never know why I dreamed that way,

But I'm grateful for the experience.

It's a reminder to live each day,

To the fullest, and take a chance.

It's a reminder to live each day,

To the fullest, and take a chance.

I rise from my bed with renewed vigor,

Inspired by the dream's endless possibilities.

I embrace the unknown, I am not a quiver,

I am ready for whatever comes, with ease.

I step out into the bright morning light,

The world is fresh and new and full of wonder.

I take a deep breath and take flight,

Embracing the day with a heart full of thunder.

I am alive, I am awake,

I am ready to make the most of it.

I will not let any opportunity forsake,

I will not let any fear or doubt fit.

So I dance and sing and laugh,

Just like I did in that crazy dream.

I live each day to the fullest, I am not daft,

I am grateful for the gift of life, it's a gleam.

The crazy dream may be just a memory,

But it has left a lasting impact on me.

I will forever be grateful, you see,

For that wild and wonderful dream, it set me free.
