Dissolve and Vanish

    Dreams that seem to make no sense
      bits and pieces of suspense
    dissolve and vanish before my eyes
      blackmail-spirals, howling skies  

    All exits blocked, no escape
      ghastly images, scimitar-shaped
    horrors dredged-up, long suppressed
      drown in light once awake

Joe Dimino Date: 9/17/2024 10:20:00 AM Yep -- dreams are in control -- in their own realm of spooky symbolism. Light (dawn) sends them back to deep shadows of consciousness...stores them there, till the next perhaps truthful night of deserved terror. Very Halloween like. Good one, Gershon.

Kim Rodrigues Date: 9/17/2024 8:20:00 AM Crazy how those dreams go! Often times I am watching my dream. One of my favorite dreams of late was seeing my brother through a window, driving a carriage, then being surprised as the horses hover above the ground…perhaps my bro is Santa…lol! I shared the dream with him. Too fun, much better than the horror show. Blessings and sweet dreams! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/17/2024 7:34:00 PM Or perhaps your brother is E.T. ~ Fon Hume

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 9/16/2024 9:28:00 AM Hello Gershon, Well said that the fleeting aspects of dreams are just that. I love sleeping in a little longer on Saturdays because that's when I remember most of the fleeting dreams. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/17/2024 7:36:00 PM You are one lucky dude, Daniel. Most of my dreams are eminently forgettable!! ~ Gershon

John Lawless Date: 9/16/2024 5:10:00 AM now go close the window...and yes, you did lock it last night....heheee Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/16/2024 8:21:00 PM Tee-hee, John. Locks aren't all they're cracked up to be, eh?! Lox and bagels ain't either... ~ Safe-cracker

Regina Elliott Date: 9/16/2024 2:42:00 AM Brilliantly penned, Gershon. Our dreams can take us to uncharted realms. ~ Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/16/2024 8:30:00 PM That's for sure, Regina. Just like Planet Earth in a way: What's under the ocean is largely uncharted, like the dreams that bubble p from or subconscious. Cheers, gw

Maria Williams Date: 9/16/2024 12:24:00 AM Ah those nightmares Gershon, and those loopy dreams - Scary. The worst thing is remembering them. If i wake with one of them - I remind myself it's only a dream and to rewind. Maria Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/16/2024 8:32:00 PM 100% Remembering nightmares is scarier than having them sometimes. Thanks for the insight, Maria. Here's to pleasant(!) dreams. :) Gershon
