My Crazy Night Time Dreams

High in the sky
A dove in my dreams
Circles my head,
What does this mean?

I'm now in a garden
Full of bright flowers,
But I've lost my dog
And I'm hunting for hours.

Another has staircases
And loads of wood doors,
Up and down I go
On so many floors.
I keep coming back
To the same place,
Can't find a way out
Of this roomy space.

There's a ladder that goes
From ground to the sky,
I climb and I climb
But don't get very high.

I'm running on a beach,
Feet in the sea,
I'm not puffing or achy,
It's very easy.

I'm building with Lego
It's for an exam,
I keep getting it wrong
With no diagram.

There's been a car crash,
My daughter's inside,
I can't get to her
Though I've tried and I've tried.

I'm cleaning a house,
One that I know,
But there's more and more rooms
That grow and grow.

A beautiful playroom,
With wonderful toys,
Warm and inviting,
For girls and for boys.

Now I'm cycling
On top of the sea,
I'm looking for Zeus
Am I crazy???

Elizabeth, I think this dream seems to signify some highs and lows in your life? Though I must say that the part of cycling on top of the sea seems exciting, love to do that. A 7+

I'm sure many of us have awakened from dream feeling a little crazy and confused, but what a cool adventure some of them can be. Your poem was playful, sad, abstract, colorful, up and down, frantic and everything else that a dream can possibly be. Nicely done Elizabeth
