A Puzzling Dream

Dreams are so crazy. Sometimes they just hang on --- as this one did.

 

 
I had a tiring dream last night
not a nightmare at all.
Nobody was shot or hung
and I didn’t have a fall.
 
Dreams may jump illogically
as this one also did.
Some say they have a message
that is very deeply hid.
 
I made a hospital call
and was glad that I came,
But as I was about to leave
they gave me another name.
 
Ignoring that name I just left
but my conscience worked on me.
So I came back much later
to see whom this could be.
 
It was a distant colleague
from many miles away,
but when I asked where he lived
he really wouldn’t say.
 
He only dropped hidden clues
a puzzle maker’s pride
and left me on my own
to singularly decide.
 
The dream was done but really not
my mind kept going back
as I ran these clues constantly
so I the case could crack.
 
They say dreams last for seconds
but this seemed to last all night
and after I woke up
I tried to get it right.
 
I think there’s no such person
and doubtless no such town,
but I’m not able to rest
and put this problem down.

A hot glass of milk with honey do wonders to go to sleep, sweetness always as chased nightmares away!
Good night and be good.

Take it literally, try to make some sense out of it what it means, maybe nothing, but our dreams can be analyzed and sometimes make sense and sometimes don't. Another author here had about bad dreams tonight and I gave her a review too. Let is not bother you, things will be alright if you only trust your maker, which I know you do.

Sounds like you need to "Google" that name. That would bother me until I knew!
