Land of Nod

In the land of sleep and dreams we can enter into a harmonious time or be in frightening nightmares leaving us shaking in our bed wondering what is going on in our head In water floating, drowning or swimming on oceans, seas, rivers or streams Climbing the highest of mountains or falling into the deepest ravines We can stay earth bound or fly off world progress backward and forward in time float to the highest heaven among the planets and stars drawn into the brightest of lights or cast into the darkest of nights ride different modes of transportation be in a controlled or uncontrolled situation meet friends, relatives or even our self animals, insects, snakes or strange creatures that go bump in the night In the land of nod all is possible so sweet dreams when you enter sleep.

- Some of us often remember what we dream of night and others almost never - I rarely remember the whole dream, only small "pictures" - A lovely poem, dear Phyllis - Hope all is well with you - Regards and hugs // Anne-Lise :)

And sweet dreams to you, Phyllis! What a lovely little poem ... I suffer horrific nightmares, sometimes terrified to go to sleep, but I believe it will change. I think I'll read this lovely poem each night, and my dreams will improve - wonderfully charming write! Blessings! :-) <3
