The True Dream
By: Chie Theresa Fujioka on 10/21/2001; 4:54 PM

often
when Sleep resides
in the
     hidden |c|o|r|r|i|d|o|r|s| of my mind
I see
     v i s i o n s
those of
     horror beauty shame love terror grace


of all
     emotion
my being
     hero and coward
my loves
     wilted flower and blooming garden
my joys
     spring breeze and stagnant fountain
-All these I feel-
And when
     my visit is suspended
never to be complete
I am
changed
I am old
i am but born
I am fresh
i am worn
I am loved
i am forlorn
I am peaceful
i am torn
I am complete
i am of all shorn

all This comes to pass
though the world is v a s t
ALL i have seen
and everywhere been
i live in a Dream
reality Does seem
the Imagined realm

Reality can be less tangible than a dream. I agree with your poem, despite the fact I can't write as eloquently as you Chie (the two poems I've ever written are about flatulence and allergies). Reality encompasses what we feel with our various senses while dreams emcompass reality plus the fabric generated by one's own mind. Therefore dreams are greater than reality, except for the fact that dreams do not exist perpetually. Dreams eventually must end and the sleeper awaken. Of course a dose of reality is neccessary because the expansion of one's mind probably must take place in reality. If anyone could encompass all the knowledge in the universe, then a state of perpetual dreaming would be ideal, except of course that this is probably impossible.
