Dreams

Slipping away. Drifting into a state of unconsciousness Where the id, the ego and the superego merge in their own perverted world: Free of inhibition; Free of intentional thought; Free of other senses interfering with the unfettered mind. No physical barriers; No interjections from other’s prejudices – Just our own pre-conceived biases and misconceptions. Rapid eye movements indicating an active mind; While the body rests, the imagination lives on. Colors? Perhaps. Based on experiences and reality? Possibly. Probably not. Free to dream in any form – no rules apply. Mostly forgotten when consciousness returns; Much to our dismay.

What a wonderful day to be reading poetry of others. I am so happy your poetry is among those I am reading this morning Joe. I wish you as I wish all my fellow poets the best in your writing endeavors whatever they may be. It is a pleasure to me to read my fellow poets poetry. Love, Carol

I do love the way dreams carry us on journeys we could never really take. Our minds have depths we cannot explore consciously. Like you, I hate when I forget an amazing dream. The camera is candidly clicking, conscious or not! Love, Carolyn
