It is a wonderful poem.i really like it.i also like the simplicity in writing it.Hughes's words touch our feelings about dreams, which are the air we breathe.As we need the air, we need dreaming and never give up dreaming.

It's a good choice of this poem.I love it, because it speakes to the mind directly, and it is for all people not only to me or to you asking for dream and dream without stoping, to take our goals and make dreams real to drew our way of life. but if there are no dreams, life will be die and life deserve to be lived.

'Dreams' in its first reading it may mean nothing to majority of people but after reading Langston Hughes' poem 'Dreams' we feel greatness. Personally, I do agree with him, to dreamis to make it true situation, realize our hopes and wishes it shows that nothing is impossible in our life without dreams nothing will happen and nothing will exist.So, you should dream and keep on dreaming and cling on it, your soul will be enriched with hopes and the belief that we can have and can do every thing.Keep dreaming to be alive.

This poem has universal significance.Each one can live this poem from anywhere and any time.Dreams are different but if you take them all it is the same.I say to someone who do not believe in dreams he is hopeless and in danger which means the bird does not fly.
  Nadia Ammari  (5/18/2009 8:18:00 AM)

My life is different now for the flow of your poem in my blood brings about vitality; significance and hopefulness to my soul; hence; i can admit that your profound poem takes me; like many people; from the land of pessemism and despair to land of optimism and hope.
  Mabrouki Hamida  (5/17/2009 3:56:00 PM)

In this poem, Laugston Hughes used a simple style but with eloquent and deep meaning.I think it is the essence of creativity and greatness.Really, the poem gives me a powerful energy to keep dreaming only because with dreams you can reach your goals in life, as the proverb says: 'Everyone who is successful must have dreamed for something'
  Nawel Kettab  (5/17/2009 3:32:00 AM)

Actually, it is so special poem because its deep meaning is expressed through few words.It encourages any one who read it not only to dream but also to never give up dreaming and never surrend to whatever the troubles are in life.I really share Hughes and all my frinds' opinion about life without dreaming has no meaning.
  Nahla Nouioua  (5/16/2009 2:26:00 PM)

In fact, I am with Langston Hughes view of 'dream' and its importance.Indeed, when we keep dreaming on something we want and desre in our life, we'll be stronger and more ambitious to realize that dream and whatever the obstacles and all the hard times that may face us, we have to overcome and go forward and never give up, surrender or go backward. Dream is my best way to go onour life
  Warda Sid  (5/16/2009 3:42:00 AM)

Hello, i think that particular poem is wonderful one.This poem is a sudden truth feeling which is expressed by Langston Hughes without any hisitation.Because it really touches our life and gives us more hopes.
