Do Dreams Dream-Up the Dreamer To Mean Something

Do dreams dream-up the Dreamer to mean something Do dreams go on dreaming without the Dreamer dreaming Hold not dreams in mid-stream even during Covid-19 Woken-up dreams scream wild as harpies in poetic shebeen Don’t dreams tend to come round like long lost tunes tinnitus din The Dreamer dreams in the Void trillion times trillion And leaves no trace of hung time-spaced dream dreaming in the Dream Who would dream dreams for oneself they wouldn’t highly esteem Dreams worthy of a world they didn’t really mean to wean In the first place out of a Void-less Big-Banging blinding sheen The Big-Bouncy Dream teasing the fistful of mashed Big-Crunchy cream Where the Dreamer bounces his Dream on the seamless turf green O’er and o’er again ‘till the Dream turns tinnitus mean Till the recurrent Dream the Dreamer dreams his own Uni-Verse seem Ev’ry dream’s the Multi-Verse of a unique team unseen Do dreams dream-up the Dreamer standing-up on a linear Time pin (c) T.

ENCORE!!! AND MORE!!! I was fascinated by this poem. 1st verse your: "do dreams go on dreaming without the Dreamer dreaming" Perhaps they do, they must, the dreamer created everything in it. I love the playfulness of this, and the really profound question, last verse,"Do dreams dream up the dreamer standing up on a linear Time pin" YES!! a hologram of someone else's dream, that dreams up a dreamer & enters...dreamily? ha i love it. thank you for this poem just up my street so to say. xxxjanine
