Alice is not running

down rabbit holes;

she's not through

the looking glass...

 

for I swam in a

lake of slumbers,

her face reflected

in rippled visions,

 

she showed herself;

waved outside my

kitchen window,

with a garland

around her head,

 

angel wings in

dreams took flight

she waved at me

but then;

 

in the blink

of an eye

the scene

eclipsed...

 

she's lost as

waking hour came.

I wish I could sink

into that dream again.

Hi again Jenny

Sometimes dreams feel so real that you feel lost when you wake and realise they aren't going to be continuing.

What a lovely way of putting this dream - 'a dream friend,' I really like that idea.

Many thanks for reading and letting me know your thoughts Rhiannon, very much appreciated.

How right you are Jean,

I hate waking up from a brilliant dream, only to find it's lost forever, though occasionally I am able to return to a dream if I go straight back to sleep.

Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thougths. Always good to hear from you.

Hi Jenny,

What a lovely dream. Most of mine are nightmares, I am always losing luggage or finding it impossible to climb stairs because they disappear and leave gaping chasms.

Dreams are strange aren't they? I do get nightmares myself, especially ones where I'm wandering in strange countries and haven't got a clue where I'm supposed to be going. Sometimes I'm able to fly out of situations which is a wonderful feeling.

I wonder what your dream of loosing luggage and finding it means? The dream about finding it impossible to climb stairs because they disappear, sounds really scary, especially with gaping chasms. I do really hope your dreams get better. Oh! For sweet dreams...zzzzzzz!wink

It's always a pleasure to read your comments Hilary. Many thanks.

Hi Jenny,

I think we all get quite an assortment of dreams. One of the most lovely dreams I had was where someone grabbed my arm and we flew off to heaven, I think it was Hermes the winged messenger. Anyway heaven was Graeco-Roman and full of beautiful people. I came back in an airship. I think those other dreams I have especially losing luggage are to do with insecurity feelings. I don't recover the luggage by the way, there is always a lot of it missing!

Hi again Hilary,

I loved reading about your dream of flying to a place of such beauty with a winged messenger. I've never heard of Graeco-Roman, but to come back in an airship must have been an amazing experience.  

The strange thing is, when I fly I'm actually doing the breast stroke; as in swimming. Another dream I have is of vehicles flying through the air too.

I so believe in angels and talk to them every day, they've always been a positive influence in my life and I believe that with their help I've got through many a situation.

I suppose you're right about the meaning of dreams. I know what you mean about insecurity, I always worry about loosing my partner and having to start all over again with life. I think as we get older, some of us are less able to cope with starting over, but it's a fact we have to face.

Thanks for coming back and sharing your thoughts and I wish you well.

A lovely poem, and all the comments too. I once heard a neurosurgeon on the radio claiming that dreaming was just the cinima of the mind and without any significance. However psycologists do attach much meaning to dreams and their content.

And I agree, it is very unpleasant sometimes to say goodbye to a dream. Especially rudely, like by an alarm clock! Late for work!

All the best & Nolan

Thank you so much for reading Nolan, I think that neurosurgen has a point, it is a bit like watching yourself in a film, like an out of body experience.

Oh! How I agree about the alarm clock going off just as you're about to experience the best part of a dream. I do seem to wake up naturally at the given time...must be those angels doing what they do best! wink

I'm very grateful to you for your comment, it's always nice to hear what other readers think.
