Bill, Nifty_!
__I like to >drift< through my dreams, it seems one will always step out to overcome the rest; the >hazy moon< may cloud the errors of my choices._m

I translated yours as follow:

ajelehtii unesta uneen utuinen kuu

simply a word by word

Your # 2 is as follows then:

utuinen kuu ajelehtii unesta uneen

Hmn, sounds slightly different, fresh! :-)

Thanks, Angelika. At the moment, can't remember why I chose one rather than the other. They are different, I think, in the feeling they evoke.

Thanks, M. I find I'm dreaming more these days, or remembering my dreams more at least. At my age, remembering anything is an accomplishment.

The sound patterns in the Finnish are fascinating, tikkis, at least to look at. I can only guess at what this sounds like read aloud in your language.
