Awake in Dreams, Sleeping Death Away
Awake in Dreams, Sleeping Death Away is a pun on the different states of consciousness, which is open to multifactorial answers. In reality, the observations in the poems leave the readers perhaps with more questions than answers. The three states of consciousness--awakening, sleeping, and dreaming--hint at the fine line between life and death. The entire book can be seen as a dream. Awake in Dreams, Sleeping Death Away does not try to scientifically claim any truths, but it does attempt to question what we may hold as true. It is more important to experience the poems, rather than to actualize them in an objective manner. No doubt the meaning or truth in these poems, if any can be found, will be organic and morph with each new reader.
