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.

Nice sonnet. Your poem is a compelling exploration of the nature, content, and power of dreams as both mystery and meaning.

I really enjoyed this, Bill! Dreams truly are wild and mysterious—like little riddles we wake up trying to solve. That "made of sand" image was especially cool and vivid. Thanks for sharing this fun and reflective piece!

I’ve had dreams that feel like Hollywood adventures which seem to last the entire night… of course, I never get to dream an ending… which tells me something astounding…. I DREAM…NETFLIX STYLE! Enjoyed your dreamy write, Bill. Terry

Most of the time I don't get to the end either, Terry. Bill
