where do we go when we dream? To a life in our past?

Or does the curtain come open between this life and what 

lies beyond I puzzle often about it

Laid out in hot sunshine I drift away starting to day dream of magical places I run through sun dappled forests and come across some unicorns. They greet me like an old friend one offers me a ride delighted I scramble onto her back gripping tight as she flies up so close to the sun. then swooping down to mountain tops nearly unseating me I gasp grab her mane as she plunges down to meadows full of flowers awaiting us with bubbling stream flowing through. She halts and steps in the water up to her back she plunges and swims I notice fish and frogs as we head upstream coming to a clearing She stops and clambers out onto a beach. Not just any beach it is full of elves and fairies giant toadstools and atop of them sits a dwarf smoking from a hubbly bubbly long stemmed pipe I stare around in wonder as old oaks glide past us. Each greeting us by name and biding us welcome I could not member being here before, scratching my head I went with the flow as if I was in Rome when a crow flew by cawing as it carried on its way. I startled awake realising I was still here where I started it had all been a dream but it felt so real maybe I was there so many mysteries and hidden things to life when one dreams it makes me wonder and ponder if Dreams are just dreams?

Once in a while they seem like more than mere dreams. Great question, Shadow. I enjoyed your take on this theme

I enjoyed reading your creative "A Day Dream" write. Yes many questions with few answers. Our dreams mean something. Maybe??? They say bad dreams come from what we ate or to warn us. I like happy dreams the best. Great last line... Have a wonderful/blessed day writing away..................

me too I prefer happy dreams Paula bad dreams I agree it is possible that they are a warning You should always be wary I think. I mean why do we dream if they dont have a purpose? hugs Shadow

A nice existence influences dreams, but fantasies remain fantasies. Your fantastical ideas amuse me. Enjoy your dreams dear Shadow
