Of Nightmares and Daydreams

Nightmares and daydreams might seem so different, One brings forth our fears and doubts, the other our hopes and wants. One happens while we sleep, the other while we are awake. They seem so clearly different, even just looking into their names would make you believe they are complete opposites of each other, with almost no shared qualities. However, there is one quality they both share. They both are preparing us for the future, daydreams theorising how we can get what we want, nightmares preparing us to defend ourselves. No matter how outlandish the ideas in them may be, that it was they are trying to do.

There is another thing they have in common. One fatal flaw they both share. One key point that they both seem to forget or ignore.

I might not leave you with a future to live.....
