Reality or Dream

Reality or Dream

A Poem by Carolann Dowsett

Have my dreams become a reality 
is my reality just a dream
 
I have the strangest feeling

that nothing's as it seems 

When I fall asleep
 
you come alive to me
 
You seem so very real
 
but you are nothing but a dream
 

Who are you my love
 
my elusive fantasy
 
Do you exist upon the world
 
will you ever come to me
 

Night upon night
 
Dream upon dream
 
We walk hand in hand
 
through worlds of
 light unseen 

You come to me my darling
 
and live your life with me
 
But for us our true reality
 
is somewhere in my dreams
 

Will I ever wake up
 
and find you next to me
 
Will the dream
 
I dream of you
 
become my reality

Or will the rest of my days
 
be as a dream within a dream
 
Where reality's a fantasy
 
and nothing's as it seems

awww i'm so very in love with contradictions and this just took me into an other reality, wonderful
let me just tell you something sis,
look for him,
in your dreams,
dream so very hard
and it will come real
to love him, to want him
to never let go
to find him finally
that is what you'll need

excuse me for the raw words, but that is what i felt. great write hun

You are a lucky person to have a perfect dream like that, sometimes that's better than reality.I love the classic line 'a dream within a dream' where reality is found but forgotten. I like this as it is very positive and full of longing and desire.

I'm pretty sure I wrote a poem a lot like this. A few lines might even be the same >.> Anyway, it's a thought I've always really been fascinated with. Cool that someone else thought of it too.

sometimes in our dream we try to convince ourselvez that it 's only a dream but our mind insists that "no"...you're awake and it's real....and it seemed real...but definitely you'll wake up
up and find out its just really a dream....
2thumbs up!!

i think some, or perhaps most, of us go through a point where illusions mix up with reality. nice piece.

I had to read this again to let it all sink in :D I love this style of writing where it's so clear yet so complex and just beautiful :D I only "dream" to write a poem in a similar style, someday i'll make that a reality :)
