This World of Dreams

Looking for ways to pass the time since my Husband passed,
I’ve found that Dreaming is not the cure for loneliness though.
Reality is far better, to lean on, and trust in God.
Proverbs 3; 5+6

This world of dreams

where lovers meet, and fall in love,

This world of dreams,

Where others laugh, love, kill, die.

Where fantasies become so real

it’s almost as if you’re living them,

feeling them, wanting to be them.

Most everyone loves to dream,

even when we’re awake.

Then we must sober up

and recognize that it’s only a dream.

Dreams can sometimes be imitated,

and good things can be taken from

dreams, but some have to remain.

This world of dreams can be entertaining

quite exciting for a while, then we wake up

and realize it’s only a dream not reality.

Some things have to stay in dreams

where they belong, intangible.

Dreams, unreal yet quite delightful

Dreams, part of life, but yet not

I must come back now, I most return

Lest I be swallowed up in fantasy

Lest I begin to become the dream

I must remember that it’s unreal

Lest I begin to feel the things I shouldn’t feel

Wake up now forget the dream, embrace truth

Soberly and intently, even relentlessly

Knowing it was only a dream

until time to dream again, perhaps?

Too many Movies. You can replace the word Dreams with Movies.
Dreaming is not always a good idea, when we can be doing more constructive,
creative, even more profitable things, but we’re not above it are we ?
I haven’t been lately. James 5;16.

A dream is a dream and ever shall be. Reality is our ground that we have to live by, dreaming of dreaming again

I think it is fine to dream as long as you are aware that you are dreaming, after all, sometimes dreams come true, nice poem!

Someone said the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. However, I don't think that this "dream" is the subject of your poem. I think you are talking more about dreams while you are asleep or nighttime fantasies. I know I dream often. But I don't remember any of it when I awake. So, in the end these dreams are of no use to me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But I like your poem! ❤

Thanks for the like, and for taking time. @Vic

It is quite the conundrum, that we must accept reality, yet we thirst for dreams & the fatastical fantasies within our minds, & what we can create. I love imagination, but like you, I know we all need to step into that reality & accept what is.

Charlotte B. Williams

@J Ann Crowder: So true. Thank you Ann 😊
