Dreams

Every wonder where they come from? I’m just glad that I still get some. Sometimes they’re pleasant and seem good, sometimes vague and misunderstood. At times they’re funny or bizarre, like riding on a shooting star. Often it seems they’re teaching me, past life lessons I didn’t see. Sometimes one seems like dejavu, in another time I was you. Then there was one, I wasn’t a man, my whole body was made of sand. Dreams are intriguing, so much fun. Recurring dreams are never done.

Hello Bill. This entry of dreams was very entertaining as dreams themselves. I however believe in them because they are trying to tell us something. I also from time to time have a recurring dream that I often think why???. May dreams of all be pleasent clear and more. Blessings always. May today be a good day. (smile)

I believe dreams have a message in them. Usually the metaphorical form, but they're in your mind for a reason. Be patient and the message will become clear. Thanks for reading my poetry, Lisa. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

The craziest dreams are when I have a fever and I can't get my brain to slow down... it keeps trying to do some impossible task. I do enjoy the pleasant ones, even though I usually can't remember them. Nice write, Bill. Enjoy your Sunday ~ John

Dreams are intriguing. Sometimes my dream is like a movie (???) Interesting!

That is interesting. Mine are usually black and white and just a struggle to get something near impossible done and keep everyone happy, work related dreams. Thanks for all the comment today, Kim. Hugs, Bill

I don't think I can ever remember my own dreams and I'm never sure if they are in colour or black and white but whatever they are or where they didn't half feel real at the time. I do remember a dream 'feeling' I've had a few times..that of my stomach churning as if I was riding on something like a shooting star. Now see what your poem's done, Bill? It's got me thinking hard and fast about my dreams. :) Cheers - Gary

Most of the time, I can't tell if I was dreaming or just thinking. My mind seems to run all the time. When they get weird, it's usually when on antibiotics or some other medicine. I enjoy visions while in meditative state much more than my dreams. Have a great day my friend! Bill

Summed it up perfectly, Bill. They certainly pique one's interest! Whether they are pleasant or unpleasant, dreams seem quite real.

I get some recurring dreams. Some are strange and bizarre.... as you have said. Some are so sweet. I relish the one in which I turn into a bird and fly. Another sweet one is going on a tour. The one disturbing me very often is writing an exam when time runs out and many questions being left untouched. Really enjoyed your poem on dreams, Bill

Thank you for the comments, Valsa. Dreams about running out of time, happen to me most often when I'm going too fast again and need to slow down. My flying or ascending dreams, I often wonder if I'm dreaming are experiencing an out of the body experience. Have a blessed day, my friend. Bill

Very interesting take on dreams~when I reflect on them, it is true they seem to have a secret message but I need a dream book to discern the meanings that are often a bit alarming. :)Paulette

That sounds really cool Bill what your wife studied for her Masters thesis - kudos to her! Hugs Jennifer.

Yep, a dream book helps. Fortunately, my wife, Sara, did her Master's thesis of Jung, and dream interpretation. :-) Hugs, Bill

I think dreams are a kaleidoscope of incidents in our life and wishes made and a fairy's presence we don't remember 84 percent of then because some are bizarre and dangerous. Part of ourselves we will never understand A truly beautiful write Bill hugs and blessings Jennifer
