a poem about dreams
Heres a lil poem i wrote about dreams:
Dreams are as real as they seem
But only from the minds eye they can be seen
Dreams as such are without cause...
Supposedly a replay of something that was...
Dreams that make you fly
Dreams that make you cry
Dreams of cars
Dreams of wars
Dreams of anything from bars to bazaars
Dreams that make a poor man rich
Dreams where a rich man sees his money go down a ditch
Dreams that make you twitch and itch
Dreams of being magical like a wizard or a witch
Dreams that make an old man feel young
Dreams of being somewhere where you don’t belong
Dreams that are right and dreams that are wrong
Dreams of poetry and melodious songs
Dreams of the endless skies that make u feel so free
Dreams about the depths of hell where you wouldn’t want to be
Dreams that make u feel down and depressed
Dreams that bring out memories that have been repressed
Dreams that fill your heart with joy and glee
Dreams that make you jump out and scream
Dreams that let the dumb talk
Dreams that let the lame walk
Dreams that even let the blind see
A world of wonder that is beyond reach
Dreams of torture and pain and all illness that can befall
Dreams of being locked behind a stonewall
Dreams of unrequited love...fulfilled
Dreams where you might end up getting killed
Dreams that bring the dead back to life
Dreams of dark forests and wildlife
Dreams that make u win and succeed
Dreams that show u failure and what you might yield
Dreams are big...dreams are small
Dreams are like taking a big fall
Into the emptiness of a black hole
That has unknown control over your very soul
So many of these so called dreams
But what dreams are really made of...
Will remain a mystery it seems!!

DREAMS
Have you ever wondered wat dreams are?.....well i have....and i am still perplexed at the complexity of dreams....what are dreams made of...well the dictionary definition of dreams is this: “Dreams are the images, thoughts and feelings experienced while asleep, particularly strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep. The contents and biological purposes of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history.”
Come to think of it......do animals dream as we people do?... one research that was done in a renowned university in America concluded after experimenting on a rat...that they do dream....and they were also able to determine a certain pattern of the neurons that were later interpreted as what kind of dream it was....sumthing about it running round in circles in a maze.... (not sure exactly)....but...y does a rat dream?...the team answered by saying.. ”probably to re-live and learn from experience”......Is this why people dream?.....then why are there times when we don’t remember what we dreamed?...is it because we failed to do wat we dreamed?....sometimes from the dreams we remember...we can recall a few things that never happened.....then what does “reliving and learning from the experience” mean here........
Sigmund Freud called dreams the "royal road to the unconscious". By this, he meant that dreams illustrate the "logic" of the unconscious mind.....Freud till this very day is considered the greatest psychoanalysts who ever lived....however...over time Freud abandoned his theory about the unconscious and replaced it with the concept of Ego.....
We normally see and read about people being haunted by dreams....i take bruce wayne a.k.a. BATMAN as an example (i just HAD to mention this)....every night he dreamt of the night his parents got shot...and this tortured him soo bad that he decided he would stand up against such crimes and make sure such a thing never happens ever again.....
People dream of many things.....it is said that one needs to dream to succeed....(this doesn’t mean that we need to sleep)...... great people are known to have dreams...like Mahathma Gandhi.....Hitler...Henry Ford....Nelson Mandela....Abraham Lincoln.....Isaac Newton....Albert Einstein....to name a few of the gazillion of great people....[including me of course]...they had a dream....to achieve something...this was a goal...so lets not mistake it with the dream we are talking of.... :O)
Its kinda wierd don’t you think... that you fall asleep....and ure mind subconsciously takes control of your body......Why does this happen?....Why do we have a particular dream at any given time?....Why don’t we remember all of our dreams....there are times when we wake up and think....”I just slept....what happened to the night??”....ever wondered wat actually happens??..... one of the most normal things that happens to every person....and we have no scientific explanation in this modern age.....state of the art equipment.....tools...cameras....but not one can show us our dreams...... none to tell us why...how...where and when...
