Silent Lucidity

This offering is from the great Seattle band Queens Ryche, from their 1990 album Empire. The song is about, oh, a lot of things, but for sure fits the paranormal billing. Here's the lyrics, then the video...

Hush now don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?

There's a place I like to hide
A door way that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face the fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension

(chorus) I - Will be watching over you
I - am gunna help you see it through
I - will protect you in the night
I - am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity

[spoken during solo]
(Visualize your dream)
(Record it in present tense)
(Put it into a permanent form)
(If you persist in your efforts)
(You can achieve dream control)
(Dream Control)
(How are we feeling today, better??)
(Dream Control, dream control)
(Help Me)

If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
come tumbling down,
and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're free from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dreams alive, you can be the guide but...

(chorus) I - will be watching over you
I - am gunna help to see it through
I - will protect you in the night
I - am smiling next to you...
