Can a dream deffer



Langston asked long ago What happened to a dream deferred?
But I’m asking here and now what do you do if delaying that dream is preferred.  
 
The voices and sounds the shaky feeling and the  visual
To me deferring my dreams would be a  grand miracle

When I sleep and awake i get this deep and heavy lingering feeling.
I wanna say it’s my own way of healing.
But the visions and things I see ...  
it’s so overwhelming and less fulfilling.

Why can’t our dreams be deffered?
They’re not  just  all sweet
You’d think so but nah it be all blurred
Have my heart pounding and my words all crumbled jumbled and slurred.

My dreams I fear speaking on them
The Question Raised: Does it stink like rotten meat?
These dreams are not sunshine ☀️ when they are about places u go ppl u know
Events and even ppl that u have yet to meet.

Try and cheat !
By staying awake but these visions have no way of escape.

What happens if a dream can defer?
Chances of watching the things u see while u sleep
Actually Unfold in the real world will decrease
Yea my dreams can get real deep...
I’m starting think theres something to me  way more than just being the traditional version of a family’s black sheep.

For there are very few close ones who actually knows
Have legit witnessed with me
The events from many of my dreams take form into reality
No one believes in stuff like Psychics vodoo Witchery trickery

But It’s gets way deeper than
what the Birds Eye view and vision
of things can really see.
Oh man It can get so scary
That I just don’t even want to go to sleep
But I know I’m not alone with this
 or am I?
Does anyone else feel  this way
 or is it just me?
 
 That’s why I wanna know. That’s why I prefer,
To know so much if a dream can really defer.
