On Dreamers

[Uthanatos]

There were series of codexes written and attached to each of the portals in the Incohate Realm. To be read properly, one had to visit each portal in turn, moving widdershins through the plane. While each bore a single line, I thought that assembling the entire work here, in order, would aide most dreamers in understanding the overall work.

Curiosity and boredom, as creatures of impulse we seek to travel.
The exploration of the world around us broadening our minds.
We yearn for the exotic until we make it mundane...commonplace.
We seek to live life without restriction, to learn and to grow.
To love and to cherish those things that speak to our hearts.
To feel the crushing pain of loss and know that we are greater.
We seek healing for our own wounds and others, to make us stronger.
We learn patience, often through our own impatience.
Social creatures, we comfort one another through the hardest parts.
The enlightened among us seek peace, within themselves.
We seek refuge from the turmoil, thoughts of kittens and babies calming our hearts.
Drawn to the fires of passion, whether creation, possession, or protection.
Cleansing our beings with the purity of purpose, of true desire.
Etching into our memories those trials which make us who we are.
Each experience driving us inexorably towards our destinies.
Accomplishments allowing us brief moments of pure joy, near orgasmic release of frustrations.
Every deed, every word, becoming an expression of who we are.
As once more the indignant rage at the imbalance of the world overwhelms us.
We cringe, fearful that one day we will lack the conviction to overcome it.
Yet, through it all, we stand protective of all that we hold dear.
No man is above feeling insecure, it is passion that allows us to endure.
We stand strong so that others may be inspired by that fortitude.
Our conviction acting to mask our fears and failings to others.
In the end, we stand in a world of illusion and lies, unable even to see our own truths.
