Last night I had a dream

Updated: Jul 4


Last night I had a dream

So real, so real it seemed

And whatever it meant

This dream I dreamt

Made me fill so vulnerable

My life no longer controllable

Being treated so very bad

I felt rejected, I felt sad

As I awoke this feeling stayed

As under my duvet I still laid

So I rose frm my safe bed

To try and clear my head

By writing my thoughts down in verse

And these are those, the very first

Task that I was needing

To do, to clear this feeling

The images still in my head

Of what I dreamt while still in bed

But finally they start to fade

These thoughts and images my mind had made

No longer do they seem

So real, last night I had a dream

Dreamy poem on dreams, well done., Dreams....the royal road to the unconscious (Freud) can reveal so much if we let them.

Well written, I’ve Had a few dreams like that myself, don’t know if it’s the medication or just part of P.D.but no better feeling than when you wake up and realise it’s not real. Wishing you pleasant dreams for the future,

I completely relate to this experience of trying to shake off a bad dream. It can often take me a good half hour in the bath to sort out what is 'real'. Well captured.
