The Art Of Dreaming
The Golden Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I left it behind, to eternity I broke through
Thousand times I dreamt and woke up in my bed
One time in another dream, on earth I was dead
I know of seven gates of dreaming
That one can enter into a separate reality
Not in ordinary dreams, they are not as the seem
But if the dreamer starts to get control
Entities of other dimensions cross his way
His dreambody awakes and the wings of his soul
But woe to those not strong enough, a deadly price they pay
The lyrics of The Golden Dawn's song The Art Of Dreaming describe the experience of breaking through the limitations of the physical world and entering into a realm of infinite possibility. The first verse speaks to the emptiness of the known world and the desire to break through to something greater. The second verse introduces the idea of the seven gates of dreaming, which represent the different levels of consciousness that one can access through dreaming. These gates are not part of ordinary dreams, but rather represent a separate reality that can be accessed by those who are able to gain control over their dream state.
The chorus warns of the dangers of this path, as those who are not strong enough to navigate the other realms may pay a deadly price. The song speaks to the power of dreaming and the potential for personal growth and enlightenment that can come from learning to control one's dreams. It also serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us that the journey to self-discovery is not without its risks.
Overall, the lyrics of The Art of Dreaming encourage listeners to explore the deeper aspects of their consciousness and embrace the transformative power of their dreams. The song speaks to the human desire to break through limitations and reach for something greater, while also acknowledging the risks and challenges that come with this journey.
Line by Line Meaning
Empty is the world that's known to you
The world you know is devoid of meaning and purpose
I left it behind, to eternity I broke through
I left the known world and transcended into eternity
Thousand times I dreamt and woke up in my bed
I've experienced numerous dreams where I woke up in my bed
One time in another dream, on earth I was dead
In one dream, I experienced dying on Earth
I know of seven gates of dreaming
I am aware of seven different levels of dreaming
That one can enter into a separate reality
Through these levels of dreaming, one can exist in a different reality
Not in ordinary dreams, they are not as they seem
These levels of dreaming are not the same as ordinary dreams
Nothing real, the dreamer's fantasy
The content of these dreams is not real, but rather a product of the dreamer's mind
But if the dreamer starts to get control
If the dreamer gains control of the dream
Entities of other dimensions cross his way
Other entities from different dimensions may appear in the dream
His dreambody awakes and the wings of his soul
The dreamer's consciousness becomes more awakened, and their soul is able to soar
But woe to those not strong enough, a deadly price they pay
However, those who cannot handle this power may face dire consequences
