Barbara Gorelick Poet Couplet

Lucid Dreaming

Lucid Dreaming


There’s a place in your dreams
Where I’m told you can go
And know that you’re dreaming
But able to guide the dream show.

I’ve tried and I’ve tried
A dream journal I’ve kept,
But I’ve never been able
To gain control when I slept.

It would be such a wonder to know  
That my dreams could stop running so fast,
And turn to find your loving arms
Holding me tightly at last.

To enter this dream state is not easy
I’ll keep trying, its secrets to reveal
For to somehow find you in my dreams
Would be the wonder I’m longing to feel.

Julie Cottingham November 27, 2008 at 10:53 AM Ahhh that moment between falling asleep and awakening, niether one or the other yet still lost in a world else where, beautiful words, they flow gently and rest easy on the readers ears, very nicely done.

Kristin Reynolds November 27, 2008 at 3:06 AM I have only found this state within dreams about 7 times (once as a child) and it is very hard to get to. I wish I could get there more often, and even when I have, I have never been able to find my past loved ones there...keep on dreaming. :) Have you tried meditation? That can often get you to where you want to be in a kore controled environment. Loved this poem, love, Kristin

Nigel Fawcett November 26, 2008 at 11:43 PM Lovely poetry. Great balance between the romantic longing and the narrative of the dream state. I think this is one of your best. Keeping a dream journal is way ahead of me, I find it difficult even to remember my dreams! Great write. Love, Nigel
