Dream Letter

Dear Dreamreader,

One dream, I made a step of a tongue to find myself out of the big bright circle. Amidst the dark, I couldn’t see but what seemed like thousands of brow-knotted wide single eyes brusquely staring at me. “Wakeup,” together they chanted as I slept till dawn. "Eyes do speak" was my first thought when I woke up.

Dreams always have meanings, the Library Lady says. But she closes her eyes when I tell her this one. “I don’t want to stare at you son,” she says.

Sincerely Why,

Meanderego

It took me a
step of a
tongue and
Yaaaarrr

i made it

only this

far.

What's in a step?

I thought my dreams were a tangled mess. Where do yours take you?

jewaira--

I don't mind where they take me as long as it's not Saleh Alnaham :P

Have you tried taking your tangled mess to Sigmund Freud?

Jewaira said...

No need.

I will present them to you for interpretation :p

You know, if I were you, I wouldn't trust the DV with an access to my subconscious. You don't know what he's capable of.

hmmm.
(with eyes closed, not wanting to look at you, harmonie says)

damn, DV, this is some awesome stuff.
Wake up? Love your technique of coming full circle with the tongue (and step) images, the motion of the poem. My favorite is the cascading line breaks here:

Awesome!! If you every come across a book called 'The art of dreaming' by carlos castanedas you should read it, ive got this feeling you'll like it.

"The Art of Dreaming" sounds really interesting. I'll add it to my shopping cart, which remind me that I ordered a french movie that has "dream" in its title, but it's been held at the customs for over a month with my other movies :|

...perhaps an underlying sense of determination?

i believe that there is not one pointless dream, every 1 has a meaning that ur bound to acquaint urself with at a certain point in time...

and another book recommendation from me: " Memories, Dreams, Reflections" - C.G. Jung

I like spending some time with your words every now and then, like "falling against gravity" in a different realm...And it is much more fun when I am not supposed to do it here,in the office:)

l.r.643 --

you think so..hmm.
The way I see it: Every reality has a meaning that we're bound to acquaint our selves with at a certain dream...

Sherry --

Jung rocks as hard as your sense of fantasy!
