Dreaming has always been fun for me. I don't seem to have dreams that contain a lot of symbolism so I don't try to figure out what they should mean to me. Many of my dreams seem to take place in probable pasts. Dreams of me driving cars I used to own and doing things that I never did. A lot of traveling and exploring. Here is a poem that captures the spirit of these dreams:
“Inner Journeys”
Where will we go tonight under the stars?
With all of reality to choose from, where now?
Perhaps some unearthly world of Mizhar's?
Push it to the limit that our minds will allow?
These Inner Journeys that we enjoy
We may forget when we awake
Though it seems to me it's just a ploy
Forget the real and remember the fake
But here, in this place, we will try
To boldly explore the dream world
As if it was the real world of blue sky
Instead of mystery into which we are hurled
************************************************
In a real inner world that only I know
I walk with a friend and enter my home
After lunch, I look in the mirror, oh no
A woman smiles back as her/my hair I comb
*********************************************
Another place, much much worse
I'm a ghost trapped inside my head
I don't know who placed the curse
That won't let me be decently dead
You walk into the castle of my mind
Not knowing the horrors you'll find
You really don't dare to look behind
So you stumble through the maze blind
Invisible, I follow you, wanting to be real
You sense me but can only shiver in fear
If I had a body like yours, I could feel
New things, not the stale old thoughts in here
*************************************************
Another place, I wonder where she is
I've lived lives with her next to me
The memories are mixed, hers or his?
I've been both and neither, don't you see?
I could live a life as my own child
With good timing, it's possible, barely
I know that seems just a little bit wild
But stranger things than that occur to me
So I'm running the road alone this time
On a dreamcycle that links the realms
What wonders will I experience, sublime
Before I return , because loneliness overwhelms?
**********************************************************
Make sure that you really want to follow me
On these Inner Journeys that I show to you
If you're not careful you'll surely see
Things that astound and make you restless too

Then there are a few dreams that stand out because they seemed so real. Click on the links to read those dream accounts.
I am certain that some of our dreams are as real as waking life. Perhaps they are glimpses of other realities?
