Cosmic Dream

I go to sleep by thinking of a blanket of snow over me as I lay in the darkness.

I will dream a cosmic dream, something with stars in it and a giant salamander made of stars appears in my mind. He opens his galaxy wide to tell me something and I know I'm in a dream.

I fall out of the dream into the black void of my mind and think if I'm truly sleeping?

Somewhere in the twilight between dreams and sleep. I glide back into the dream.
The salamander has turned into a lizard made of stars. His black hole eyes blink at me.

Then he is a dragon made of a dying universe. His scales are made of red giants stars and his breath is a billion exploding stars. I wake myself at 1:40 AM and begin to write the dream down before it fades.
