HE
With Real Toads--d'Verse Poets Pub
He tried to
show them
that they were dreaming
and that if they could
awaken
within the dream
and recognize it
for what it was
that they could manipulate
it, and do all kinds of
cool stuff
like turn water into wine
(party time!)
still
nearly everyone
continues to snooze
(without the free booze)
still perceiving
the dream to be reality
subjected to the most capricious
twists and turns
of the Subconscious Imagination
including nightmares
that seem to be
so terribly real

WOW this took me there.. where he is me and me is them, and then then is me and he and-i, and we get lost again
ReplyDeletegreat piece, Timoteo.
And thanks so much for coming to my dual place to comment... In answer to your question "they" are possily those who are kind of no good at all... say, rapists...and the like.
D.
Thanks Dulce...I like your trippy first two sentences!
ReplyDeleteMy son actually did this a few weeks back - his astral projection dream was so trippy, he thought he had died and was contacting me from the astral plane (you cant make this stuff up.)He's back in the real world now, but says he was happier - blissful - on the astral plane.
ReplyDeletenice...this would be pretty cool if i could get it to work....i could see a bunch of people atrophying as they sequested themselves in their dreams...
ReplyDeleteWe are all in this togeether .. thank you, Mr Catnip ... meouw ...Love, cat,
ReplyDeleteHello my dear. I'm just getting back to my hiatus. ... and catching up on everyone's stuff. my my, it HAS been awhile we've been blogging buddies...
ReplyDeletei appreciate you hanging around even though i'm the most unreliable blogger ever.
I've been busy lately freaking out about turning 30 in two days.
sigh.
Excellent!
ReplyDeleteyeah, why DO people confuse that dream with reality? you got it.
ReplyDeleteI suppose if I ever awake in my dreams, I'd want to stay there forever. Sigh. But there's real life; but I'll enjoy the good dreams as they come. :)
ReplyDeleteSo this is the dream, and another reality awaits our opened eyes? Cool concept!
ReplyDeleteIf this is a dream within a dream, then its reality ? Cool idea as I am lost ~
ReplyDeleteI love this world within the world within and all within the world beyond dreams we call reality, which might be deeper than the surface of wakefulness...how can we know?
ReplyDeleteWow, this is very powerful. I love this line break:
ReplyDelete"that they could manipulate
it"
Cool!
ReplyDeleteLike Poe said, "All that we see or seem/is but a dream within a dream..." and the sleepers don't want to wake up--they might have to actually *d* something. Enjoyed it, Timo.
ReplyDeleteReality! What a concept!!
ReplyDeleteComments much appreciated everyone...thanks for checking in!
ReplyDeleteSubconscious imagination has a lot to answer for...I wonder how much of it reveals our true selves?
