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.

Fantastic write Ron!

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!

Dreams can turn to nightmares. I stood by the Brooklyn Bridge gazing at the water. Then a bomb demolished the beauty in bright colors vibrant and real. I woke shaking.

It's always good to have dreams. Good or bad - dreams give me inspirations to write my stories and poetry. I am glad you were able to write this poem about your dream. Thank you for sharing!

A good portion of my dreams are vivid. Though I never see myself, I always know I'm the one dreaming. An interesting thing is, my Christianity is exactly the same in my dreams as it is when I'm awake. I've heard it averred that if humans didn't dream they would go insane. Perhaps that's true. But I've never not dreamed. And I'm still somewhat sane. For me personally, dreaming has a tendency to set the tone for the day. But not always. I've noticed over the decades that my happier, more focused, more productive creative days, are always after I've had flying dreams. Thanks for sharing. r

YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS MUCH YOUNGER I CONTINUALLY DREAMT OF SOARING. SEEMS I WAS JUST OUT OF THE REACH OF THE GRABBING HANDS OF...??? I NEVER KNEW WHAT. IN ANY CASE, WE SOMEHOW KNOW WHEN DREAMS ARE TO BE REMEMBERED OR FORGOTTEN. BECAUSE WE DO JUST THAT...WE REMEMBER THEM OR THEY FADE AWAY. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I WILL WRITE THE DATE OF A PARTICULAR DREAM OR MAYBE DRAW A SYMBOL THAT I SAW, JUST TO MAKE SURE TO REMEMBER IT. OTHER THAN THAT, OUR PSYCH AND WHAT AND WHO WE BELIEVE IN HAS A GREAT INFLUENCE ON WHAT WE DREAM. 'IF' YOU BELIEVED IN IT(SMILE)I WOULD SAY...PRAY ABOUT IT. THANKS FOR THE SHARE. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Pleasant or nightmarish,
dreams range from b ad to great.
This was such a dreamy write,
I'm looking forward to my next REM state.
