My Crazy Night Time Dreams

High in the sky A dove in my dreams Circles my head, What does this mean? I'm now in a garden Full of bright flowers, But I've lost my dog And I'm hunting for hours. Another has staircases And loads of wood doors, Up and down I go On so many floors. I keep coming back To the same place, Can't find a way out Of this roomy space. There's a ladder that goes From ground to the sky, I climb and I climb But don't get very high. I'm running on a beach, Feet in the sea, I'm not puffing or achy, It's very easy. I'm building with Lego It's for an exam, I keep getting it wrong With no diagram. There's been a car crash, My daughter's inside, I can't get to her Though I've tried and I've tried. I'm cleaning a house, One that I know, But there's more and more rooms That grow and grow. A beautiful playroom, With wonderful toys, Warm and inviting, For girls and for boys. Now I'm cycling On top of the sea, I'm looking for Zeus Am I crazy???

Elizabeth, I think this dream seems to signify some highs and lows in your life? Though I must say that the part of cycling on top of the sea seems exciting, love to do that. A 7+

No my friend, Elizabeth, you are not crazy you just a dreamer. The subconscious has so many hidden messages thag th concious has no time to process. In color dreams are important. Excellent poem. A seven.

I'm sure many of us have awakened from dream feeling a little crazy and confused, but what a cool adventure some of them can be. Your poem was playful, sad, abstract, colorful, up and down, frantic and everything else that a dream can possibly be. Nicely done Elizabeth
