It's just random enough that I think it fits here.
In Dreams
Nobody minds Nobody wrongs Nobody hurts Nobody fears Nobody does that in dreams.
Everyone smiles Everyone laughs Everyone loves Everyone gives Everyone does that in dreams.
The weather’s always perfect The flowers are always perfect The clothes are always perfect The friends are always perfect Everything’s perfect in dreams.
But nobody learns, Nobody feels, Nobody trips Nobody heals So nobody chooses to live in their dreams.
If you look at my beautiful signature, you will probably think I am crazy. You're right--I am!

Actually, I might have put that in the Downbringing section--it's got this sad feeling to it. Maybe, though, that's because it shows a truth that can be hard to face. Dreams AREN'T perfect, because as you said, "...nobody learns, Nobody feels, Nobody trips Nobody heals"
"I can't control my destiny. I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be. There's only now, there's only here. Give in to love, or live in fear. No other path, no other way. No day but today." -Mimi, Collins, Angel, and Mark in "Another Day"

I love the message of this poem. The use of the absolutes nobody, everybody, and always gives it a definite feeling. Curios way to look at dreams. I don't find it downbringing like Mara does. Rather, you accept the imperfection of life as the way we're ment to live.
