How to Write a Dream Poem
When you're asleep, the logical part of your brain is shut off while the wild and crazy part of your brain does whatever it wants. That's why poems about dreams can be so much fun. They can be rich in creative imagery or "wouldn't it be great if..." wish lists.
I think my favorite dream poem was published in Sweet Dreams. It was inspired by a Robert Louis Stevenson poem my mother used to read when she'd tuck me into bed.
My Bed is Like a Sailing Ship

I sail past beaches, gleaming white, with palm trees swaying in the night. I watch the waves break on the shore, and then I see my bedroom floor!
I blink my eyes, I scratch my head- my ship is home, I'm back in bed. My ships goes sailing every night and sails home in the morning light...
