    A Dream I Had While Asleep, January 20th 2026

    A Dream I Had While Asleep, January 20th 2026     The air in my grandparents’ house tasted of woodsmoke and old memories, a stillness that usually feels like an ending. But then she was there. Marsha. Not as a memory, but...

      • Deep gratitude my friend. This story, based on a dream about my late former wife, was the most emotional dream I have ever had about here. Very glad you enjoyed this, my friend. That means so much to me. Thank you so much.

    • Beautiful piece John. Well written and marvelously executed.

      • Gracias Visions. Very happy you enjoyed this dream story about the visitation from the beyond from my late wife. Thank you from my heart.

    • This is a lovely story. Love this line
      “a reminder that even in dreams, our love carries the weight of our fragility”

      • Thank you so much Fia. Glad you enjoyed this. This vignette was based entirely on a dream I had a couple of nights ago. Much appreciated.

    • Dreams always have some kind of meaning behind them. Trying to figure that meaning out is the hard part. Perhaps the lost dress was a representation of words that were never spoken. Or desires never totally met. The ending is warm and affectionate. As a poet or writer, dreams can be of value, which in this case, was beneficial for a good story with a happy ending. 🙂

      • Tim I love your insights here. Indeed you illuminate he hidden nature of meaning in dreams. Indeed, I do think the lost dress held a meaning. As did the atm machine. I could imagine the atm machine meaning that the love we had was never really about money but that she was looking for something more than what money can buy from me. Thank you so much for sharing your insightful thoughts here. They were greatly appreciated.

    • Chère C.,
      In the Netherlands, we believe that everyone has ‘een rugzakje’. A backpack, but the addition of ‘je’ can’t be translated as far as I know. It’s there to indicate that sometimes it’s heavy and sometimes less. If I make any sense.

      In this rugzakje we all carry things from present and past (mostly).
      The thing for others, is to accept other rugzakjes too. I hear what you say, and at the same time I know that there will be more people who will support and embrace you.

      The days will be getting longer. I hope that more hours of light will strengthen you.

      Warm regards, Gus

    • A great piece written for your husband. Nicely executed!

    • Wolves are back! Big bad and naughty wolves. The Wolves you are writing about seem to be more seductive and haunting than threatening.
      I’m curious to read your take on this topic.

    • I am slogging at the library right now reading through the first draft making revisions. About to transcribe it from my notebook to the computer so I can send it to you finally. Ughhhhhh writing is such a process, Elke! Haha 😂

    • Dude you’re to freaking wild, we remember jumping in windows back in the days. Hahaha, pounding on the floor so that the bed didn’t make any noise. You’re wild though with getting caught dude. We thought it was going to be grandma, to tight

      • This shit actually happened to me back when I was in high school. It was pure embarrassment that day on levels you could not comprehend.

    • As always we read the piece first, then wondered what it would sound like. You never disappoint Lady, this is tight, that first stanza screams

    • Epically penned, Drieks. Excellent lyrics with a powerful message and being a rock/metal guy I love the arrangement. Nicely done my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I’m truly blown away by this.

      I’m reading it as I’m listening to the audio clip.

      This is a talented piece of art.

      So articulate in its own way. I love it! x
