'oh '....IT was and it is and it remains the wonderfu masterpiece that i do never forget in my life! ! ! , it it give hope, when life throw you in its stormy waves, darky and terrorist nights, when all the candles and lights are switch off all the doors are closed, a fresh air tickle your feeling, hold you between its fair arms, above the cloud and with the stairs, could you believe it if you do 'the dream will be true, '

hi, dreams have an important value in our life, the one who has no dream has no futur and no life we must keep dreaming.however, the poet personified the value of dreams and used the suitable metaphor to attract the reader.so, dreams are the air that we breathe, if we lose them we will lose our life.

Hi every body.it is really a good poem.It talks about the idea of dreams which needs by everyone.I can not imagine a life without it how can I define alive person if he has no dreams.dreams considred as a light of our life as the auther said a life without dreams as a barren field frozen with snow is tron tel for the GODS SAKE what can I get from one who has no goals no hops no dreams

This poem talk about dreams which is to draw to your self hopes with imagination, your life without dreaming is like you walk without seeing.So you must dream and try even if you fail, It makes new hopes, new energy in new day.

Ithink that dreams is one of the best poems that I've read in my life because it let a great impression on me.really as the poet said 'life without dreams as a bird without wings' this means that life without dreams as life without hope, so my brother dream to prove your existence.

How very true, and yet the world goes on having a dreamless slumber. A world without dreams is a risky place to be.
  Nahla Ziad  (5/19/2009 5:25:00 AM)

A wonderful poem because it talks about dreams. I think that dreams are very important, they are as a candle that lighting our life, if we do not have dreams in our life, we don't have hope so, when there is dream, there is a hope, there is a purpose in life.

I've been really profoundly impressed by Hughes' DREAMS, for it gives another sense to my life. Everyday's perils usually bring about people's despair, frustration and depression; however, DREAMS does lift our spirits to see hope, strength and new horizons everywhere.So, ' DREAM! ' since there's nothing to lose.

Peace be upon you, longstons' dreams poem proves that length never limit meanings. Dreams tend to be a strange concept within poverty we live in and hard times. May be we are in need to dreams, but we lost the way long time ago. We really feel frozen without them, but we are afraid to be lost if hang on them. May be when you dream you gona reach them some day. Our dreams people stick always to the real life, to what we can put on the table, and hope to live longer to see our children grow up. At least for us dreams stay dreams. You gona think that i'm too pessimistic, i just do not neglect the other side of life.
