Lost In A Dream Poem by George Krokos

Dreaming - input data:
unfamiliar territory,
space-time distortion;
half light - neither dawn nor dusk,
vague impressions and images.
- - - - - - -
It had happened only a few times before
that while dreaming I would became lost
and in whatever direction I turned to go
it seemed that there was no familiar place
which I could recognise or associate with
and it would also be found to be a dead end.

Not really a nightmare in the general sense
or meaning of the word but coming close
and it felt good to be able to wake up from.
Indeed waking seemed to be the only way out of
the predicament and dilemma of going back and forth
as like that hopeless feeling of being lost in a dream.
