Here is a poem that is part of a series that I just started.  Hopefully it will be insightful, if subtle.

If I could do it again… Dream insights #1

I’ve dreamed this so many times…
sometimes there is a part of me,
that ventures back in time,
to warn me of what would happen…
what life would be like if I follow a certain
path.

Other times, it seems that clear that indeed
a dream is a form of wish fulfillment…
and so hard it is to awaken from this dream.

Freud claimed that this was wish fulfillment, but
what purpose can this serve, only
to disappoint upon waking -
to find that the miracle that I so wanted
was just a dream.

It seemed so much like it would be
possible to change things,
set things right again.

Some say hope is dangerous
others that it is necessary and important.
