The Tide Is Turning In My Dream
I want to write a poem because that is a fun way for me to express myself and very fulfilling. But I also want to talk about dreams and recurring dreams. I've only had one recurring dream in my life and it has happened in the past 1-2 years.
Briefly, the dream consists of me looking for someone, and I cannot find them, or when I find them, I only find their apartment, or the apartment building and they are either not home, or I cannot find the right apartment or number.
It has amazed me that I've had the (almost exact) same dream for many months. It's an experience I've never experienced before. I'm always looking for the same person. The funny thing too, is that in the dream they have an apartment better than mine....and mine is pretty nice!
So, each time, I've looked and couldn't find the right floor, or the right number to their apartment and a few times I did, but the person still didn't want to see me. Then, more recently, in the past months, I was able to find the apartment but they were not in it, and once or twice I was able to look around and see some things there which I vaguely remember. Then, last night, I dreamt again of their apartment, and this time I found it and they were inside and the door was closed. I was in a hallway outside sitting down on the floor (stubbornly refusing to leave) and began singing a song by Mariah Carey called "Forever". I really don't know how that happened and it was pretty vivid in the dream. I recall it being very real. Then, suddenly, as I was singing the song in the dream, they suddenly walked out of the door, passing by me and sort of smiling a little, and went into another room.
I don't have knowledge of recurring dreams except that I hear it is something the mind does when it wants something or needs something. That is the only explanation I have.
The tide is turning in my dream
The tide is turning in my dream
And no longer it seems
That you are so far away...
I envision a tide on a beach
twisting and twirling and making me feel more free
showing some sort of hope inside me
The tide is turning in my dream
Suddenly
I awake feeling hopeful and more free
Final thoughts
Yesterday evening, before I had the dream I spoke of above, I decided in a meaningful way, that I would accept whatever happens.... Prayerfully I was filled with much joy and I felt some sort of acceptance that I would be okay either way. Acceptance is necessary, and the key to me having a happy life.
