A reoccurring dream since childhood…


Poem Artwork

A night of velvety onyx,


home of luminous orbs,


crystalline jewels of the heavens,


a backdrop for blissful sleep.


I’m floating on a canopy bed


that’s bound for a place of awe…


Golden curls in repose on


plumped ivory pillows,


adorned with ribbons and lace.


Downy blankets caress


my slumbering form


as drifting, I doze in peace.


Dreaming,


dreaming,


dreaming,


 


 


Then…


 


the bed tips,


 


and I

I loved this. I have a poem called "Cushion Of Dreams"... I'll post it and maybe you can break your fall. Thank you for your kind words about my work. I enjoyed yours and will read more.

I am not a "shrink" Michelle, but... ...According to Freudian theory, dreams of falling indicate that you are contemplating giving into a sexual urge or impulse. You maybe lacking indiscretion. Of course, as you know, Freud was always into the sex thing. There are many other interpretations given. I often have dreams of falling myself and they are usually accompanied by my whole body jerking itself awake. Thank you for sharing your dream as a poetic offering. Love and peace. Regis

Michelle,

GAD...sounds scary...being in a beautiful place, then the nightmare of falling *shivers*

Brilliantly captured--BRAVA!

the motion of the emotion can be very powerful in dreams ... we lay down in our comfortable beds while our dreams are woven with sparking turmoil ...

well done!

Fantastic response Michelle! Such radiance as you describe so beautifully ending in a fall,perhaps your dream was telling you not to expect such gems;-)lol I'm not really a dream buff...

Michelle..this feels peaceful despite the fall out of bed. Hmm--could it be as a child you felt safe and loved before growing up to know that fear exists? Falling from the innocence?
