Craziest Time In a Dream

Craziest time in a dream that repeats itself.
It starts of; 
I'm going off to war dress in heavy armor,
riding on a magnificent black stallion.
We wander through a dense forest,
sunlight filtering through the leaves
and cross a clear shallow river amid
schools of salmon and trout.

Groans from fatigue, we stop by a stream.
I gather firewood and start a small fire.
Pulling off my boots, my socks are tinged red
from blisters bloody and raw from the shoes being too big.
Night comes upon us and exhaustion takes over.
Tired and hungry, shivering beneath my blanket
I finally fall asleep, under the twinkling stars
 Hunger gnaws in my belly wakes me up.

"Breakfast.", words echoes through my mind.

If only the conscious knew what the subconscious carries with it, would certainly have justified such dreams dearest, Eve. Absolutely the right poem for such an entry. Good luck. Hugs xxx

Eve, I had the same repeating dream for years. Under hypnosis, I learned it was related to a past life. Not everyone believes in reincarnation, but it could explain such dreams. Best wishes in the contest!

A fantastic dream which ends with breakfast ready and waiting for you! I'v had a few serious ones and they have come true. Perhaps in another poem. Blessings and hugs Eve, Jennifer.
