Dreaming Someone Else’s Dream

I look up and I see
Buildings in the sky.
Elegant, immovable but... hanging.

Strangely weightless,
Strangely so concrete.

A city in the sky,
It is adorned with strange, 
Symbolic statements  

Unrecognizable and 
Unfathomable to me.

And yet familiar detail 
I just spot it...
In this reality unknown.

In equal patterns,
As part of the façade,
Are planted cameras - 
The all-seeing eyes.

Unmovable, all powerful,
All-knowing, incapacitating,
The cameras are known to me,
Familiar, too real.

Now it is not so strange.
I realize I'm dreaming... 
I know now, I am dreaming…
The dreams of somebody else.
 
Someone, somebody

Who is also sleeping 
In the future,
Into another realm.

A future not so distant now.
And in this future,
In this dream, to me bizarrely
The feelings now... so real.
