In my colourful dreams <br />I live my fantasies. <br />Sometimes <br />In my dreams <br />I fulfil my wish <br />To travel to distant lands <br />Of which I have only read. <br /> <br />I have visited <br />Wordsworth’s English countryside <br />And seen Daffodils smile <br />I have gone to Mauritius, <br />And gone under sea <br />To see the coral reefs. <br />i have lied on the beaches <br />of exotic Maldives. <br /> <br />Dreams, wrote Freud <br />Release fears <br />From deep <br />Unconscious layers, <br />At times in the form <br />Of nightmares. <br /> <br />sometimes <br />Resolve issues <br />Which baffle you. <br />Some recur <br />And make me wonder <br />What they are <br />Trying to tell. <br />Others often I can’t <br />Recall too well. <br /> <br />I am sure <br />A therapist <br />Will shed some light. <br />I believe 3500 years ago <br />In ancient Egypt <br />Too they were <br />Intrigued <br />And dreams were <br />Interpreted. <br /> <br />like young children <br />bored in the <br />classroom, <br />some of us <br />day dream, <br />and take flights of fancy. <br /> <br />All said. <br />Dreams <br />Are healthy <br />For our well being. <br />Even medical science <br />Agrees <br /> <br />its only <br />due to dreams, <br />mankind has <br />made these <br />giant strides. <br /> <br />exploring space, <br />riding waves <br />if we had <br />no dreams, <br />life will be indeed <br />dull and grim.<br /><br />Mamta Agarwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dreams-286/
