Was it a Dream?

I travel the world. I see blue skies and feel the cool breeze against my skin. I go to London and watch as the brightly colored red double decker buses dart around random traffic circles. I see the Great Wall of China. The canals of Venice, the great pyramids of Egypt come into focus. I see the Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

Before the tomb of the pharos was looted, at the beginning of time, back in the days men rode camels across the desert in search of long lost treasure, there was the great sphinx-head of a human, body of a lion, soul a complete mystery.

Was it only in my dream? Or did it really exist?
