Morning Inspiration And A Vague Dream Il Poem by Savita Tyagi

Defining A Dream

Fascinating is the world of dreams
Experienced by most of us.
Some dreams are quickly forgotten
But some are retained long in memory
With their hard to ignore impressions.

We try to find some way to know more,
To analyze the phenomena, to find some comfort
Or to interpret our confused and disoriented mind.
From reading books, to consulting experts,
From talking to friends to taking solitary walks,
All options we try to put ourself at ease.

Dwelling more, varied explanations we may find
Sometime putting a whole new spin on our thoughts.

I had a dream couple of days back
Instead of getting lost in subconscious
From where it arises, it left an impression.

What is most interesting is the revelation
That a sudden morning thought brought to it.
I found its explanation in my own thought process.
What are our values, our teachings,
What we value most in our life,
How we reach towards our goals,
Be it self improvement or any other worldly gains,
A dream can be defined in any of those ways.

A long process of belief, convictions and
Circumstance influence us while we make
Some conscious efforts to build our lives.

Because a dream can reflect any of these things
In defining it all this needs to be
Taken into consideration.
If understood well it can be an asset
And a guidance of subconscious to our conscious life.

So if you are not satisfied with any traditional explanation
Don't be disappointed or puzzled.
A new clue may light up like a light bulb
Based on your own experience.

You may find a new support, a new guidance
Closer to you own heart and desires.
A dream may help you to return to your choice,
Change it or to improve upon it, according to
Something which you may have forgotten but value most.
