    Dream Home

    I tried to participate in DreamDeers dream experiment but as usual I could not get to sleep. However my mind did it's usual wanderings and because I was concentrating on this subject I did come up with this. I probably seen this in a movie or picture some ware, who knows. Now, I wonder if any one else had the same vision last night. In a way that would kinda be the same, sort of.

    Once upon a time in a failed evening's sleep.
    I resorted to counting proverbial sheep.
    While a waiting for dreams to enter my head.
    I tossed and turned all night in my bed.
    Peering out from hiding beneath my pillow.
    I stared at the alarm clock's dark amber glow.
    Dawn's soft rays signaled the passing of night.
    Still I still lay as a corpse at a burial site.
    In my struggle for rest was a vision or two.
    Aside matters financial and things still to do.
    I imagined a home built on the edge of a dream.
    Between shadows of dark and light's twin extreme.
    Above swirled a sky like a gathering storm.
    In a far away center glowed a circular form.
    Mixed was the noise of birds and harsh angry wind.
    Called also echoing voices desperately determined.
    The structure resided on thick moss covered ground.
    Far away trees silhouetted a top rocky high mounds.
    Beyond the gray shadows was a deepening void.
    Dwelled wishes abandoned and ware hope is destroyed.
    The wood shingled cottage with it's chimney of stone.
    Was rustically quaint as it sat all alone.
    A flicker of candles illuminated a pathway.
    And beckoned me closer to the lonely chalet.
    An errand thought quickly passed, I lost my hold on this place.
    Leaving broken glimpses in my mind's darkened space.
    For what ever it was and for what ever it means.
    Still resides in a shack at the edge of my dreams.

    Fascinating! A fierce storm blew over my home as I went to bed to attempt to dream with you, and I had candles flickering on my altar (in safe containers within containers.)

    So you might not have slept, but you did tune in. An intriguing concept, that house between sleeping and awake. I wonder if your house resembled the one that Louise dreamed about?

    Visions on the edge of sleep do count, especially when dealing with the fairy world. If you post this on the site, go into html and put "br" (only between angle-brackets instead of quote marks) after each line to get it to break poetically. Or leave it as is and let the rhythms and rhymes speak for themselves--that might work. Or I can post it for you, if you wish. If you do decide to share, let me know if I also have permission to share this with our sister group, Faerie Exploration International (I won't if you don't want me to.)

    May you get better rest soon!
