MEDIT8
by Jodie Senkyrik, ©, 1995

I was meditating the other day,
and I fell asleep.
And I dreamt that I was meditating and fell asleep
while dreaming of meditating and falling asleep.

Then I awoke,
and came out of meditation,
and I realized that I was dreaming.
So, I decided to meditate while in the dream,
but fell asleep,
trying to dream of meditating,
and then I woke up,
and realized I was still asleep.
So, I decided to meditate
on the dream of sleeping,
but fell asleep thinking that I was awake.
I then dreamt of waking up from meditation,
and upon realizing I was asleep,
I decided to wake up,
but then realized I was only meditating.
So, I stopped meditating
and woke up,
yet, I thought I might still be asleep,
so I meditated to make sure,
and came out of meditation,
and I realized I wasn’t asleep,

and I realized I wasn’t meditating,

and I realized I was awake,

And, boy did I have a headache!
