Dream

My interuptaion of what a dream is

Every Night as I lay my head down

 The familiar question that ponders me so

Comes to mind. It’s like a friend returning home.

I believe many people think the same question as I do.

And that is “I wonder what dream I will have tonight?”

And every night somehow my question is answered.

Because every night as my eyes close

My mind grows wings

And flies out of my bedroom and goes wherever it wants.

But it seems I still have no solid answer.

Some dreams are extraordinary.

I am taken to a magical place that knows no name.

A place where I am surrounded by my friends and family.

Sometimes I go on exciting adventures.

 

Some dreams are not so pleasant.

Some dreams I am taken to a terrible place

Where bad things happen

Where people begin to die…

And then I wake up screaming.

 

There are some dreams I remember quite clearly.

While others it seems

 That when I open my eyes they slowly slip away.

Like sand…running through my fingers.

 

Some dreams I wish would slip away.

 

A dream is something no man can grasp.

We cannot capture a dream in a jar

And put it up on a shelf.

 

Nor can we put a dream under a microscope to study it.

 

A dream can be so powerful it can become a reality.

Some can become real through words spoken or written on a page.

Sometimes we have to run thousands of miles to chase a dream down.

 

A dream has no scientific label.

A dream just is.

A dream is just…

THIS.DOES.NOT.SUCK! I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its BEYOND amazing! and, want to know something weird? Some of my dreams, actually come true. LIke i could be dreaming of school and weird conversations and they come true. Its frikin weird. And i can NEVER rememeber my dreams. But every once in a while, there is this one AMAZING dream that i can remember clear as day. The human mind is a funny thing. Its weird how we can rememeber some things but not others. I love this poem, and IT DOES NOT SUCK!
