For all of you out there who are maybe thinking shall I shant I
The Dream
A man lay on his bed at the end of his life waiting to die.
His dream came to pay his last respects
and bid farewell to the man who had never used it.
As it entered the room the man looked down in shame.
"Why did you not realise me ?" the dream asked.
"Because I was afraid," the man said.
"Afraid of what," said the dream.
"I was afraid I would fail."
"But haven't you failed by not attempting to use me?".
"Yes I did, but I always thought there would be tomorrow."
"You Fool!" said the dream" Did it never occur to you
that there was only ever today? the moment that you are in right now?
Do you think that now that death is here
that you can put it off until tomorrow?".
"No". said the man, a tear gently rolling down his cheek.
The dream was softer now, because it knew that there were two types of pain,
the pain of discipline and the pain of regret,
and while discipline weighs ounces, regret weighs pounds.
Then the dream leant forward to gently wipe away the tear and said,
" You need only have taken the first step
and I would have taken one to meet you,
for the only thing that ever separated us
was the belief in your mind that you couldn't have me".
Then they said goodbye and they both died. (copyright Mark Baker 2000)
Have a good day

Every night and twice on Sundays for me. And the only description for that kind of trite prose is platitude. I like the way it retains a copyright. - I mean if you're going to write for greetings cards you should at least get paid. How much does 4N have to pay for publishing Mark Baker's clichés?

Maybe I've been a bit harsh. I mean that last sentence where his dream tells him about a problem with a belief in his mind is like a Russian Doll. The dream, which is of course a constuct of mind, is having a pop at the same creative power. The dream personified is looking into a mirror, and knows that he and the lack of will are one and the same thing, two sides of the same coin. When the dream shouts You Fool (sic) we at first assume he's addressing our protaganist, but this final sentence reveals the dream's own self doubt and he is in fact addressing himself. The dream, now installed as a conscious agent in this tale, is revealed to also have the same dichotomy of thought when he reveals that he too knows two types of pain for himself, ergo it's been down the same path, had the same dreams and fears as the dying man. The dreams own dreams and fears have their own dreams and fears, and we now have a multiverse of sorrow and pain, a kaleidoscopic condensation of Paradise Lost, a snake eating it's own tail on it's infinte journey to hell.

I do have a genuine issue with crap metaphor, ever since I was a kid having to read all the similar stuff my aunties would blu tac to their fridges. The web's probably made it worse.

I think Crump is very badly trying to say YES dreams are good and wonderful BUT caution and hesitation also save us daily from disaster.
Regret is the only thing I can't tolerate as well.
