I wonder what you would do If you had the power to dream at night any dream you wanted to dream And you would of course be able to alter your time sense And slip, say 75 years of subjective time into eight hours of sleep You would, I suppose Start out by fulfilling all your wishes You could design for yourself what would be the most ecstatic life Love affairs, banquets, dancing girls, wonderful journeys, gardens, music beyond belief And then after a couple of months of this sort of thing, 75 years a night You'd be getting a little taste for something different And you would move over to an adventurous dimension Where there was sudden dangers involved, and the thrill of dealing with dangers And you could rescue princesses from dragons And go on dangerous journeys Make wonderful explosions and blow them up Eventually get into contest with enemies And after you've done that for some time You'd think up a new wrinkle to forget that you were dreaming So you'd think it was all for real And to be anxious about it
