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

really nice concept. especially the way it awakes intense feelings and surpise already from the first stanza. loved the start
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.
If this is the dream then death is the wake up call... Very thought provoking poem, well done...
Where does the real world end And where does the dream world begin i dont know how to answer it. still in search of the answer for this question.your poem is greatly thought provoking.keep it up! ! ! ! !
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.
Very good! I loved it. It's probably one of the best poems I've read on this site yet.
Wow, sometimes I feel that way two, just pulling the trigger, and it's a good thing probably that I don't have a gun. In the second verse, I wonder if death is really that way, I wonder if you think 'am I dead'? Awesome write.
To shoot oneself in a dream denotes targeting your goals n getting success in it...otherwise too, as it was a mere dream still it gave you a poetry in return. A horrid dream put into a nice poem.
Very poetic expression of an existential question, nicely written. Dreams and reality and life after death are all woven into this great piece of poetry.
Good poem... short and to the point... I myself am a dreamer, it has its pro's and also its cons... Being a dreamer means to me that sometimes a person's dreams / fantasies and reality overlap... Sometimes we escape into our dream world only to find that our fears have followed us in... Making it a confusing sensation...
as Poe said, 'life is but a dream within a dream...', good poem!
Nightmare will over for you :) thanks God it just a dream hahaha...when you wake up u will face the real world...should i sent the army of ants to bite you and wake you up before you pull the trigger....Nah, dont tell me it just a plastic gun for movie hahahahahaha I'm joking :) again time to serious one, Dave it real world you dream now, but it pain yes it hurt but that the real thing we need to face, why must we pull the trigger to win the life..If you dreamed a dream change the scene coz it's a dream..and if it in real life it more easy to act... Nice write :) and nice photo too :) _Unwritten Soul
don't get trapped in your dream. nice poem. I like it.
Well Dave I truly enjoy a unique poem such as yours and the fine tuned imagination that it takes to bring it forward like you have. But you are most certainly awake...for you left me a fine comment on my poem. Much appreciated. Nice poem by the way.......I hope I am awake while writing this... You made me wonder...
Yes your alive what is man without dreams and we all live different lives...your too good to die...regards
Great poem I can relate to it. I really enjoyed reading. Keep up the great work!
