Death Dreams

This is a little poem about a dream that I have had since I was a kid. It has been the same dream for so long. I had to write about it and maybe I can get rid of it.

Death Dreams

I have dreamed my own death

Watched myself take my last breath

In a hospital bed is where it ends

Alone in a bed without any friends

****

A skeleton of a man is what I see

How can this possibly be me?

So I step closer to the bed 

Trying to hear what the Dr. just said

****

Why do I have this dream again?

Try to write about it and loose my pen

Can't have this dream again tonight?

Hold off my sleep with all of my might

****

Why can't I have a normal dream?

 I am so sick of it, want to scream

Time and time again, this dream will never end

Why must I die alone without a friend?

Don't know about this one..... Not sure if I like it. It's hard to capture my dream with a poem.... but I gave it a try.... let me know what you think...

Dying alone..perhaps is my greatest fear...you have expressed the theme in a very lovely way..finding a balance between the dark realms of our mind and expressing it can be very challenging..very well written...

I always had dreams of death... someone else's death, not mine, strange indeed... Anyway, the last two lines really complete the poem, though it is against my nature not to tell you that there's always room for improvement, like the part 'I am so sick of it, want to scream'...

All in all, it is a nice write!! XD

This is quite interesting and if it helps any re-ocurring dreams of death seldom carry the message of death, they tend to be more symbolic of the end of an era in one's life, symbolic of change, leaving the old and embracing the new. They can also signal that some form of anxsiaty (sorry about the spelling I know it's wrong but I'm too lazy to check it) is about to be lifted or be lessoned. It's amasing how the sub-concious mind works it knows so much more than the concious mind.

It sounds good I especially liked how it ended "Time and time again, this dream will never end, Why must I die alone without a friend?" I also have dreams where reoccurring with my my own death so it's good to know I'm not the only one.
