i’ve heard wise men say
that your dreams can tell you things
that they speak of the stuff
your unconscious mind is coming to grips with
dreams are the manifestation
of your worries
and your fears
they also speak to your hopes and longings
when i was younger i found
that i could have lucid dreams quite easily
and tune the story
sometimes even fly like superman
dreams can dictate your reality
as much as you can theirs
for what is reality anyway
but a dream
but lately, really i should say for years
i haven’t been dreaming
or if i am i can’t remember them
which means they don’t exist to me
what does this say about me
that i have no more fear
that i have no longings
both are untrue
or is it that my unconscious
just has nothing to tell me
or at least nothing that it cares to share
maybe it has it out for me
all my dreams come when i am awake now
or at least when i am wakeful
daydreams, musings and hopeful ponderances abound
but no dreams
i have no idea what my psychi is doing at night
if you happen to bump into it, please let me know
what it has been up to
i’d really like to know

I was drinkning with it the other night. Psychi said it had been dreaming it self and decided to cut out the middle man. I’d check seedy bars in the Kalamazoo area.

I endure the same affliction. I miss the dreaming and the remembering.
Perchance we close our own doors. If so, I wish I knew how it could be reopened.
Anyone out there with ideas?????

Not certain how pertinent this is, but I used to keep a notebook right by my bed and immediately upon waking, I’d jot down everything I could remember about what I’d dreamt. Within a week of such record keeping I found myself remembering more of my dreams, actually, I’ve been meaning to do that again, thanks for making me think of that.

[…] With the recent comments regarding dreams going on here at Lewd Cognoscenti, (see dream a little dream for me) I’ve decided to once again begin my old practice of keeping pen and notebook beside the bed. Going on night three at this point, and what amazes me again is the fact of how my ability to remember my dreams is already increasing. […]
