A nightmare is something that wakes you up at night just to tell you that,

even dreams can be alive

I like to think Nightmares are a way of helping us cope with fear and anxiety so when we are awake we can better deal with it. Funny how the happy dreams seem to disappear so fast when you wake up (at least for me they do) but the frightening ones linger - just like in real life - my happy times seem to disappear so quickly but when I'm are experiencing sad / frightening situations they seem to go in extremely slow motion and linger far too long. Well done with this short but well thought out poem - it really gets one thinking :)

Very true even our worst nightmares could be real in some aspect I love the darkness in it though maybe change the font into a gothic style my dear but great work.

Your lines read haunting almost like a dangerous thought. We can only hope they don't come true yet dreams always relate to the reality partly, something our mind needs to process even when it turns out to be dreadful. Though I like the idea of dreams becoming alive but certainly not the bad ones.

thank you for reading it :D

Spooky. The whole phrase "even dreams can be alive" is quite frightening because I often wake up and feel extremely relieved that what I was just dreaming was not real. But what if it were? Very interesting and terrifying. Nice work!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, fear and all that. Can you please tell Freddy to stop jangling his knife hand? Soooooo annoying. Some people are trying to sleep, and his stupid laugh isn't helping anyone. Jeez.

Lol. I enjoyed the brevity of this bit, I feel the poem may be a bit short and this little nugget of writing would be golden in an expanded piece. As it is, I'll take it because it's nice to see someone encapsulate a larger concept with much fewer words. Fear is alive during those certain nights, waking up in that cold sweat trying to remember what you saw wasn't real: but the feeling, the feeling definitely was.

I like this poem because you show in a few short words how powerful dreams are. I am sure you get a number of poems from your dreams. Well at least, I do. One of my poems comes to mind in this regard, "Of Ravens and Angels," came directly from a dream.

Your line, "even dreams can be alive," will echo within me for some time to come.

Well done.
