Nighttime Travel

What really happens when we’re asleep;
lying in bed or sleeping in a chair?
Our conscious mind travels so deep;
without really walking anywhere.

Do dreams really emanate from our brain;
or does the soul travel elsewhere?
Perhaps, it would make more sense and explain;
some gain higher knowledge while there.

We must dispense with physicality illusions;
consciousness is an energy being;
until we ultimately reach such conclusions;
we’ll be deceived by hearing and seeing.

Sleep opens the door to the higher realm;
whether it be slumber or death;
knowledge, found there, will overwhelm;
and, sometimes, take your breath.

In the deepest sleep; and death, as well;
the soul reaches an external destination;
sometimes heaven; other times, hell;
reaching out; to creation’s foundation.

Sleep is a most mystical form of travel;
it’s almost like floating in air;
the illusion of reality tends to unravel;
tho we don’t really go anywhere.

When our eyes close; to turn out the light;
the soul still has eyes to see;
transcending the earth in darkness of night;
the soul; once again, is free.
