A seeker 'A Dream Withing A Dream' just as described. Lovely Sound, great 'Edgar Allan Poe'.

It's clear to me. As in so many other things, after 'The Secret' I see it everywhere, especially in the old great artists. The idea that all is a hologram has obviously been around for eons. It's the primary idea in the Bible in fact.
So about this poem in particular? He's grieving over his realisation that not even one grain of sand is real. Thinking of your favorite story, maybe it's Macbeth or thinking of your favorite song, they are non-existent. Pizza is non-existent. The Sierras are non-existent. The blue sky is an illusion. Is this something worth grieving over? I think yes, or at least it is in a mind not yet fully released from the illusion.
I'm not saying I buy The Secret. I'm saying Poe has or is contemplating buying into it and is grieving over the lose of the illusion.
The Secret is everywhere folks. It's in Shakepeare. It's in the movie A Space Odessey and The Tempest. It's Jesus primary idea. It's the Freemasons thing. It's everywhere. Read The Bible again, only this time with The Secret on your mind, you'll see I'm right and you'll be as shocked as I am.
I used to think Poe dwelled on some kind of morbid death fixation, but now I know it's The Secret ect.

Okay people. I mean, this is good, but I don't think it's a nine out of ten. Call me negative if you like, but if this had been written by one of the average joes on this site we would have thought it plesant, but nothing amazing - please tell me I am not alone in thinking this. The idea of a dream within a dream is interesting, and the rhythm is mostly okay bit it does falter. Overall I think it is a six, and I am dumbfounded that it is number fifteen on this website. Far be it from me to disrespect Poe - his influence has been massive, and 'The Raven' is in my top ten poems ever, but come on now, is this poem really that great? Aren't we all just in awe because it is written by a man who is famous for other works? ?

A dream within a dream...full of evanescent images and shadows and visions and it is something like a gret rythm here, the same as The Raven, the repetition give power to words and it sound great.Great idea to try a Gothic song using this one(one of his best ones I think) and advicing young people about this.

Great poem - which I first heard as part of incredible song 'Dream within a Dream' by the 80's synthpop German group Propaganda - even though I was a big Poe fan as a teen.
The song is available via iTunes and if you like synth/rock music and this poem - you will love it....
