Elucidating Questions

I had a dream last night

There was a little girl named Molly that I needed to save

The moment I saw her I knew I was dreaming

I got upset

Why do I always have such strange dreams?

She showed up a few times

Part girl, part ghost

The scene changed and we were at some sort of club

Not a night club, a white people club, you know, pomp and ceremony.

There was a family seated around a grand table

They had a little girl and when I called “Molly”, she looked.

Dreading what was coming, I said

Okay let’s do this there isn’t much ti-

And the alarm went off

Molly has followed me all day

I have wondered about her

She seemed so real

She woke me up in my dream and I felt a real need to help her

But I was unable.

Was she real?

If not, why was she there?

Such wonders the dreaming mind creates

Her name just stuck to me

People so rarely give me their names in a dream

Or at least nothing sticks

Was my brain creating a human Molly the dolly from The Big Comfy Couch?

She was mysterious like a doll

I wonder what she was

What she represents

And how my dream self knew exactly when the alarm was going to go off.

The mystery of dreaming.

There’s no answer is there?
