A DREAM
Juxtaposed non sequitur
without restraint of thought control
outwith the exercise of sway.
Where light of day will never hear
unconscious words discharged
by night’s dictation disengaged.
Poetically the thoughts unseen
by day time’s open eyes.

Wonderful write, dreams can be awe inspiring as are these words and the wonderful abstract.
Thanks Andy - much appreciated.
A fine write and pic Michael. Aww, why people wish that the light of day will never hear my singing!
Sing at night and they won't know it's you singing Orchi.
Why is it we say sing at night but we don't say sing at day? Yet more conundrums !!
Well, a church is having a new midweek meeting: 'Dreams interpretations evenings'. It helps if we can remember the dream! Or else it's like trying to watch telly without plugging it in!
Or plugging it in and getting it soaked. If it will fit in the sink that is.
The mystery of a dream described perfectly and with poetic prowess.
Thank you Fay.
Daytimes beta brain wave patters cannot assimilate the information which passes through our brain in the theta and alpha brain patterns of our dreams. Hence, on waking, our wonderful dream, once so vivid, falls from consciousness.
Not a very poetic way of describing a dream is it? Whereas yours is simply a 'dream' by comparison.
Thanks dusk - now saying your description is not very poetic is a challenge in itself - I'll think about it.
Remain alert
Converse, debate
With the beta waves
Of an active mind.
Take time to reflect
Take a break and relax
In the Alpha state
Of an optimal mind.
Turn out the lights
Put down the book
Let the brainwaves descend
Into delta depths.
Isn't it funny how in our dreams we never question what is going on but just roll along with it (unless it's a nightmare of course). Another magical abstract Michael!
Ah but I never roll in my sleep - I wake up in the same position as I went to sleep in. Honest ! Thanks Lorna.
Michael,
Perfect abstract for a Dream sequence...the ones we want to go back to sleep again and continue the Dream! (Not the nightmarish ones as Lorna said)
I enjoyed the read!
Great work, Maestro!
~Laura~
Ah but as Orchi says - if you can remember them. I have to say I rarely can. thanks so much Laura.
Ahh, that explains why out tellys have not come on. We been plugging them into the sink! Hmm, never knew that before now!
You drip !! 🙂
THANKS MICHAEL ~ Now that ANGELA is in NZ ~ all I have to do to meet her @ the top of Auckland Tower is:
Dream ~ Dream ~ Dream
Dream ~ Dream ~ Dream
Whenever I need Her
And with LOVE to feed Her
All i have to do is DREAM !
Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
Oh to dream - thanks Brian.
