Strange Flowers

What if you slept? And what if, in your sleep, you dreamed? And what if, in your dream, you went to heaven and plucked a strange and beautiful flower? And what if, when you awoke, you had the flower in your hand? Ah, what then?”
-Samuel Taylor Coleridge

What would happen if you did wake up with a flower in your hand from a dream? I suppose you do every morning when you wake up, life is a beautiful flower plucked from heaven. Yes, life can be strange, but it has so many more opportunities to be beautiful.

Even dreams themselves can be beautiful. I think it's so cool that our brains can dream, whether we're awake or not. It's that crazy phenomenon of the unconscious that helps us to process the innate desires of our heart. It is so fascinating on how the events of our conscious lives transfer over into our unconscious lives, like the strange yet beautiful flower.
