Dreams: Causes, types, meaning, what they are, and more

"Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies." Quote by _Stephen King I dream and it always begins the same I am floating in a surreal ocean and can see no shore there is a deep silence until ... I hear voices calling me their voices floating like waves voices of all my beloved family gone above still connected to me in dreams they give me hope oh, my baby boy is crying I guess he will never grow up in heaven mom ... hold him for me press him to your heart my love ... how I still love you your death too sudden it still hurts daddy I miss you so much grandma wish you could tell me a story grandpa you always make me smile sister you left me too soon I hope, hope and pray I can dream this dream always, ever for it keeps the voices alive in my heart for without them ... my life is empty a void I collect all my dream memories in a glass jar a collection of hope that never dies my wish to pen poems until my very end for they are the story of my life and of them and if I cannot because I am withered old I will write them in my head or in my dreams I hope God will take my hand in his and lead me home to you when it is time until then ... I dream, I dream of you and all the deep love and hope we shared

Dear talented poetess, I was literally in tears reading this, a poem that made me feel so much, the flow and depth of this truly left me speechless. The opening lines were so captivating and when you wrote the lines “ grandma wish you could tell me a story “ those few lines as well as how loss and grief is so vividly described here is just beyond impeccable. Touching poignant n heart wrenching how one holds onto dreams and weave words. Thank you for writing. CONGRATULATIONS.
