Poem Book | A Journey With a Shy Soul

Surreal

Dreamlike, dim lights
Lines the corners of my mind
So far the befalling of the end
Yet all the challenges are but a test

Mystical, physical
Simply discarded in the daylight
Could these images wrap around my mind?
So vast the land, only entered when relaxed

Could these visions have a meaning?
Maybe there is more than just my being
A message from the mind which listens but is silent
Subconsciousness makes my dreams feel brilliant

This poem talks about dreams. Dreams are often said to have meanings and are messages from your subconscious mind. As a dreamer myself, I have had dreams which hold secret meanings and since I believe in God, I know He has given me dreams that are warnings and just wonderful dreams that tells about what He will do. A majority of people don't remember their dreams, but I remember only the important ones.

This poem is my way of saying that dreams hold much more which is based on my experience. However, I understand if you get confused or think I'm peculiar. Not everyone has to believe my statements, I am simply sharing it to the reader.

*Meanings

[First stanza, third verse]
The end is talking about the end of dreaming. As a dreamer, I find dreams interesting and amazing to experience, even if it might be considered scary. It is truly a wonderful feeling to dream and I know that the end of Dream Land is not near.

[First stanza, last verse]
It depends on what type of dreams a dreamer experiences. I have had scary dreams or sometimes nightmares, but at the end I am just happy to be able to grow at least a little stronger and braver each time I decide to sleep again.

[Second stanza, first verse]
Mystical might not be the clearest word for expressing my belief in my religion, but I hope you can still understand. God gives us dreams which could be a form of communication to us, but sometimes it can also come from the enemy. If my dream holds spiritual meaning, I can feel physical things like touch or taste when I interact with things. For example, I could be running. I could feel how my body gets tired and how my foot slams to the ground, so everything feels realistic.

I apologize if this is vague or confusing. Dreams are very complicated but only a few people actually care about them.
