Dreaming Me

This song evolved as part of the question; does consciousness create reality? “The Dream That’s Dreaming Me” [Intro] What if the world you see… isn’t the beginning of anything… What if space… time… matter… are just the way your mind makes sense of something deeper… What if you’re not in the universe… …what if the universe is happening in you… And what if… you’re not the dreamer… …but the dream… being dreamed… [Verse 1] I woke up inside a question With no edges, no end in sight Stars were flickers in my thinking Space was bending in my mind Time was moving like a river But I couldn’t find the source Every answer turned to vapor Every path just bent its course [Pre-Chorus] If matter’s just a shadow Of something I can’t see… Then who’s the one observing… …all of this as “me”? [Chorus] Am I the wave or the ocean? The spark or the flame? Am I the one who is watching… Or the one in the frame? If everything I’m touching Is just a passing view… Then maybe all of creation Is consciousness shining through… [Verse 2] Particles dancing in silence Waiting for eyes to arrive Worlds don’t settle ‘til we see them Truth doesn’t land ‘til it’s alive Every atom holds a whisper Every stone a quiet song Every breath a shared remembering Like I’ve known this all along [Pre-Chorus] If every piece is dreaming In ways we can’t define… Then maybe all this living Is one vast mind… [Chorus] Am I the wave or the ocean? The dream or the sea? Am I the one who is searching… Or the one being seen? If space and time are stories My senses pull me through… Then maybe all of creation Is consciousness shining through… [Bridge] No walls between the moments No line between the lives No end to where I’m going No place where “I” divides Falling into something That feels like coming home Losing every boundary… And finding I’m not alone [Break] Not separate… Not divided… Just different expressions… of the same awareness… [Final Chorus] I am the wave and the ocean The dream and the dreamer too I am the light in the question That’s searching itself as “you” And all that I thought was solid Is shifting into view… Like everything I’ve ever known Was consciousness shining through… [Outro] So if I let go of knowing… And stop trying to see… Maybe the truth was never out there… …it was the awareness… looking… through me…
