Dream Schemes
Had a dream the other night,
must say that it gave me a fright.
Falling isn't that bad at all,
was what I crushed under my fall.
It might be a puppy or my lover,
try as I might, to only hover,
came down in a mighty squeeze,
to open my eyes, and then, seize.
That it was only a dream,
some diabolical nightmare scheme,
designed to scare me out of my wits,
chipping away my sleep in little bits.
On the other hand, dreams can be wise,
but I never, "I had a dream," Nobel Prize.
But food for short stories dreams fertile ground.
Write one quite often when they come around.
Most dreams sort our daily experience,
but the loops can run diabolical interference.
Causing an aggravating, waking aching sleep,
wanting to defeat that dream, oh so deep.
Escape to the dreams that are full of color,
dreams that enlighten each nightly hour,
dreams that romance and raise my spirit,
dreams that create life's fun, not fear it.

You can print this poem at my website here.
Day dreams are what made our concrete and steel reality in the cities. Someone had to dream up a way to make a car, a building design and everything in between.
Then there are night dreams. I have them often with lots of people involved but they sometimes make no sense. I seem to live in an underground world where my dreams continue from one episode to the next. Yes, just like a soap opera. I can sometimes recall the same floors, interior designs and the same people in the continuum. Sometimes its so euphoric, I get upset when I wake up but then I usually continue where I left off. Most of these dreams are rather enjoyable with people laughing, singing and folks having a good time socializing. I love to dream about a party in our house and never worry about cleaning the place up! Now that's ideal time!
Happy dreaming Ron!
