I read this from both my serious side and my what the hell side
whichever way I looked at it, food for thought indeed and humorous too - another great one

Hi Serenity - thanks! I wonder what 'reality' would be like if we did wake?
Perhaps we're all orange lizards on the planet Zorg?!! In which case, I#ll keep the dream! Or maybe we spend differnt lives, or 'dreams' on different planets as different species each time - and then at the end we have to write an essay and pass an exam on universal life!!

Hi Mary - You mean how do elephants know? Dunno - perhaps we should
organise an elephant's quiz where they're asked about their own families and histories! If any of them get anything wrong, the myth is imploded!

interesting.
thanx antonionionio for your comment on my poem.  it was appreciated.  this was really interesting and well-understood.  we've all wondered if this world was real. sometimes i wonder if I am in someone else's dream or in my own dream and if so, how the hell can i wake up? :)

"your minds mine mine"...now there's quite the phrase .....
I think we're all a figment pigment of someone's imagination....

Antonio-yo-yo - Wow, I really like this one. About knowing and unknowing
in many ways.  Now I understand what you were talking about in your other post.  I like the inclusion of the elephant as it serves as a duality, but what I want to know is, how do 'they' know they never forget?

Proc- And who created the creator of the creator -and - --on and on!
that's what life is like, though - there's always another level of creation the more you expand or the more you contract. It's amazing how little we knew about the word's complexity a few centuries ago compared to now. And yet, we still barely know whether it's real or an illusion!

Hi Antonionioni, Im never sure if Ive written al the oni's
This poem has stated truths we all wonder about.  Is this world real,are we real and in the infinite world of creation are we just little blips on a big screen or the most important part of creation ,as we think.  And who created the creator of it all???

Thanks Dave, I appreciate that. I'm only too keen as you know!!
I think we should self-publish and go on joint publicity tours - and open mike nights!

Brilliant, Tony. This is a really good one that appeals to me on many levels. It's time to publish, for sure. When we have that pint, we'll talk about all that stuff. I have plans and you should have some too, for definite.
