When A Dream Overlaps Reality Poem by Savita Tyagi

When A Dream Overlaps Reality

Rating: 5.0


It's been two days since I had a dream
Still I can't shake it from memory's stream
It wasn't about any out of the world activity
Yet morning buzzed with its connectivity.

In my bedroom with sleepy eyesight
I stepped into glory of morning sun light
First awareness was of a loud conversation
Floating in kitchen like small altercation.

What took place between father and son
Soon alerted me to its familiar content
Wait a minute! I thought to myself puzzled
Didn't I just dreamed a similar conversation.

Only it was between mother and a son
All morning I was in amazement
Thinking of that lucid dream
And it's clear premonition.

A muffled play of what was to come
In nature's finest instrument at works
I am no expert on matters of subconscious
Strange is its nonconformity to time's dimensions.

How it comes into shady existence
And why it disappears for reality to begin
I have no answer to all these questions
But to experience the phenomena once in a while.

It's mystique so charming and sublime
Even a confused mingling of two planes
Just leaves me in wonder and dazed
At the mysteries of mind's power untamed.

A Beautiful poem Savita. Some times unknowingly our subconscious mind show us the dream that about to turn into reality. Unexpected thoughts turns into reality. Human mind or brain is mysterious. We cannot calculate the very next moment what happens. Loved reading it.

Telepathy is something mysterious There are many things within ourselves which we can't explain properly! The working of human mind and the unconscious still remain a puzzle unsolved! Enjoyed this poem and the uncommon experience mentioned in it!

No doubt a few minds have a powerful foresight, they are outstanding calculators of the future. Subconscious of such persons paints a dream and often this picture appears as a reality. A nice description of the hidden powers of human brain..................10
