Dream World Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Dream World

Rating: 4.0


I dreamed a dream
That I laid down on the bed
Put a gun to my head
Pulled the trigger

Now is it in my head
Or am I now dead
Am I in this world
Or am I in the next

Where does the real world end
And where does the dream world begin

So true, it is a concept widely known. Did it really happen? Or was it my imagination? Great yet simple poem. The complexities of such questions are endless as time itself. Ticking away even after the day fades.

To die or not to die...ultimately death is inevitable...but to dream your own death through your own hands...a realization before times! ! ! A poem unfolding the mystery of life n death.

I have often wondered this very question Dave. How do we know any of this is real? Very much like a Schrodinger's cat situation. I enjoyed this poem.

Sometimes it seems that I'm dead but don't realize it. Though, 'Death isn't sad. The sad thing is: most people don't live at all', says Socrates in 'Peaceful Warrior'. A very impressive poem, Dave.
