Mankind In Dreamland

Pestered and pursued by unknown foes A topsy turvy land where snakes could have horns and cows can have fangs! Nightmares in which the day's stallions make mountains out of molehills. A chance to witness greek mythology like creatures for real since dreamland's a place for the unreal, the surreal. There are hair- raising scary dreams Beset with horrified yet silent screams. For us to wake up pinching ourselves and sigh with relief to see neither tigers or elves. All in all, dreamland's fascination for extraordinary exaggeration and tall tale imagination Where myth and legend come to life An amalgam of fiction and real strife Where assorted monsters of the mind reign supreme in the REM sleep of our kind Yet on the other hand the sweet sweet dreams where fantasies form mirages bordered by fanciful seams where castles in the air float gently down to earth only to shoot back up nowhere from the awakened one's berth. Dreamland's a great place for a princess and fairytale fair for daydreams extend into midnight and linger on there. Yet a quote I took to heart and here would love to share 'that if your sweet dreams don't come true, don't you fret coz atleast your nightmares didn't come true either!'' That oughtta console all and sundry Yeah go on heave relief's phew sigh! (linked to the contest page painting by Deshpande)
