Dreaming

Swimming in the solace and enjoying the solitude In the near death dream state Begin the subconscious movie show Past memories appear- caught in static time Deceased loved ones briefly visit They appear so alive The flying dream begins Soaring high above the trees Landing in unknown places Strange beings can be seen Transporting to a carnival The falling dream begins Riding the Ferris wheel and slipping from the seat Falling and falling and falling into darkness Dreading hitting ground Suddenly jolted awake, I sit up in my bed Open my eyes in my sunny room I'll get on with the day The movie is finished, but I must admit I’m looking forward to tonight’s subconscious movie show

When glimpses of life show up in dream, they become reality..your poem does just that. You captured the subconscious we all feel from time to time, vividly. Well done, Warren.

Hello Warren, sometimes a dream can seem so real,that we wake up quickly. I have had a few of those dreams. Have a nice day my friend.

Hi Connie, always great to hear from you. You are fortunate to be able to dream in color. I do too, but I have friends that only dream in black and white. I'm very glad that you enjoyed my poem. Happy Tuesday-Warren:)

I am reading this one just after dreaming so the timing is perfect. Most times I don’t remember my dreams. My wife always remembers her’s in great detail. I enjoyed your winning poem.

- Why do some of us often remember what we dream about in the night, and others almost never? - Some people may remember what they've been dreaming every night, while others can barely remember they have laid the head on the pillow ... :) -I rarely remember a whole dream ... just little parts of a dream :) - A lovely poem, Warren :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
