If dreams are dreams, then what is this?

Oh, just a poem I wrote in class.

If dreams are dreams,

Then what is this?

Just as it seems,

It was so bliss.

A flash of life,

Or made up thoughts?

Could this be real?

It has me bought.

Another life,

Within my dreams,

And like a knife,

It cuts the seams.

Torn apart,

Reality is.

And from my heart,

Just like a kid.

Venture into,

This fantasy land.

Where things are real,

Even the damned.

And as I dream,

I sleep in peace.

For it does seem,

So real and deep.

I do not want,

To leave this land.

I dare to taunt,

The boogie man.

Could this be reality?

This is just my cup of tea.

More than one,

World we live.

Discovery,

So vivid.

If dreams are dreams,

Then what is this?

Just as it seemed,

I won’t forget.

Author's Note

Critics are welcome as always, tell me how you like it. It's all coming from my own philosophical view on dreaming. Does it make you think? I wrote it to inspire thought in the reader, so you can't really skip this over and get the whole picture. Thanks for reading :D

I love the wording you use. Yes, it makes me think. I understand what you mean about taking the time to really get it. Since my book basis is on dreams and dreams in comas, I had to see this!
Good job, enjoyed it once I slowed down!

I hope you keep wriitng you are very good at it.
Dreams but get confused into reality, there are thin lines.
Amazing!

When you really read this at a slow pace there is much to consider. I believe that ones dreams are more complicated then what some believe. I hope I make sense. O.O Anyway this was a good read.
