Dream Characters

Characters in a dream know each other,
While the dreamer is unknown to them.
Characters play their roles perfectly,
They have no choice.

Characters see things,
Love, lose, long, leave.
And look, for their dreamer.

I wish,
I try,
I practice,
I see
The dream of the dreamer.

Is this the end?
What of realization? Awaking up?
Characters are always just characters.

Like the fish, who after being pulled out of the water and then returned, suddenly knows it is in water,
The character is sometimes shocked into knowing it exists.
But it interprets this knowing from the dream character, which thinks it has awakened.
Characters are always just characters.

When the nature of the dream is seen,
It is the dreamer who sees.
