A Nightmare In A Dream Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

ALL OUR DREAMS HAPPEN IN OUR MINDS ANY TIME NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DAY OR THE NIGHT. WE ALL DREAM DIFFERENT DREAMS AND SOME OF THESE DREAMS THEY MIGHT TURN INTO VERY NASTY NIGHTMARES. WE SEE OUR SELVES IN DREAMS PACKED WITH IMAGES EXTENDING AND STRETCHING SO FAR AND CARRY US FREELY INTO REALMS OF SADNESS AND HAPPINESS. ONLY IN OUR DREAMS WE GET FREE THINGS AND FREE NIGHTMARES. OUR DREAMS CAN HAVE US ON A WIND CARPET, A MAGIC FINGER, ALA'A ELDEEN'S MAGIC LANTERN, AND SUPERMAN'S POWERS. IN EVERY IMAGE WE SEE A DREAM AND SOMETIMES A LOT OF NIGHTMARES. DREAMS SURPRISE ME AND SPEED A LOT OF IMAGES KNOWN AND UNKNOWN WHEN ONLY GET UP. I CAN'T LOCK UP THE STREAM OF ALL THESE DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES IN MY MIND. GET ME UP, PLEASE! GET ME UP, PLEASE!
