In My Dreams

In my dreams, I glimpsed you,
A shadow calling my name
From a distant place …
I walked far ahead
In a sea of chaos
Surrounded by countless faces
I turned around
Aware of your voice
Yet you remained unseen …

In my dreams, I found you
Amidst a chaotic storm
You searched for me
Worried if I get lost
Where would you find me?
You sent your words to me
And I replied with mine
But it was never quite enough
Everything remained hazy in the dreams …

In my dreams, I glimpsed you on a distant path
While I wandered through your city
A stranger to its streets
Unaware of my arrival
You found my words and raced to me
By your trusted companion
Eager for me to join your ride …

In my dreams, I saw you there
With your handsome looks, so debonair
While my long black hair did shine
We glided on the lake so fine …
It led us to a grand palace; there
We roamed like King and Queen
While you remained in silence deep
I felt a restlessness for your voice … 

I cannot tell
How long I’ll dream of you
But for now, it brings me joy
To find you in my dreams …
Though you seem distant
I long for the dreams each night
Waking at dawn’s first light
Renewed, beginning
My day with you in my heart …

Do you see dreams?

What makes you dream about a certain person?

What if you never met someone and still you see them in your dreams!

I think it’s such a poignant acceptance of the joy found in the dreams of someone dear, even as they remain a transient part of the dreams, offering solace and renewal as the day begins …

  1. pretty poem, Amy. You have a wonderful way of weaving your sweet thoughts and emotions into a canvas that everyone can understand. I see you and feel you, like a gifted artist should b. — I dream with my eyes wide open. When I think of loved ones, it’s from dawn to dusk. They are vivid recollections that I can imagine and make believe our endearing connections as I want them to be. — At night, in my sleep, I prefer not to think of what might transpire because those subconscious thoughts are rife with fears and frustrations.

    1. Oh Stephie! I understand how unsettling those nighttime thoughts can be. It’s tough when our minds play out our fears and frustrations in our sleep. I hope you find peace and comfort, both in your dreams and waking hours.

      And I loved how you beautifully expressed, ‘When I think of loved ones, it’s from dawn to dusk.’ That’s what I do too. There’s something magical about cherishing loved ones in our thoughts all day.

      Your words capture the essence of deep connections and the power of imagination. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt sentiment.

      And your appreciation means a lot to me. I’m glad you could connect with my emotions. Your support inspires me to keep writing and sharing my work.

      Lovely day to you my dear ✨

  2. So lovely, Roksana. Your verse captures that magical, ethereal dream state where our minds wander off on unknown paths. I’m often surprised by the emotion felt in dreams. Like living an alternative life.

    I’ve always been fascinated by dreams and I’m often inspired by them to write and paint. But where do these dreams come from? Why do we dream of certain places or people? It’ll always be a mystery, but I don’t mind.

    1. Thank you Richard!
      I think many people can relate to these verses and seeing dreams! After all, who doesn’t dream while sleeping? Though, I also find myself dreaming while I’m awake. I bet you do too. 😊

      Dreams truly do have a way of taking us on unexpected journeys, don’t they? You’ve highlighted an intriguing aspect of dreaming! It’s indeed mysterious how we can feel such strong emotions in dreams, almost as if we’re living a parallel life. Perhaps we do have parallel lives, or maybe even past lives!

      My mother would always say, “Sleep well so you can dream well.” She said it to encourage us to get a good night’s rest, and it really resonated with me. As a result, I’ve always cherished that sentiment and I have vivid dreams frequently. Sometimes, if I’m subconsciously thinking about someone or something, I’ll definitely dream about it. Other times, I have dreams about things that are completely unfamiliar or things I haven’t given much thought to. The mystery of why we dream of certain places or people is part of their allure. It’s as if our subconscious mind has its own agenda, weaving stories and emotions from our experiences and imagination.

      I agree, dreams are such a rich source of inspiration! I’m always intrigued by how these nocturnal narratives influence our creativity.

      Thank you once again for taking the time to read my posts. I’m grateful for your thoughtful and coherent words on ‘In My Dreams.’

      Have a great weekend soon! ✨
