Have you ever found yourself having a dream
Where you couldn’t quite figure out the place or time?
Like old faces you’ve seen or places you’ve been
And yet something along the way doesn’t align?
It’s not really a nostalgic trip down memory lane
Like when a song comes on and it takes you back
But as if a present-day reality mixes with some old fantasy
And the fusion makes a remix of a newfound soundtrack
You wake up confuzzled in your bed (or behind the wheel)
Trying to wrap your head around about what you feel
Thinking of the words said in that delirious reel
And how the moment fled just as all seemed surreal
Maybe the synapses in the cortex converge
When imagination and experience intersect
Where the past and present overlap then diverge
And the dream out of time and place has this effect
Have you ever had that kind of dream?
Or is it just me?
Yes. When things do not seem align and the path splits, then come back together to take you on a different road. I have
Thank you Fia. I know I’m not the only one and yet the familiarity of something unknown can be a little confusing and amusing. Perhaps the parallel universe of our other selves, or just our brains needing some good sleep.
hello Wally yes I have on a lot of occassions strangers I apparently know in the dream is often or my home being another house I seemed to live in this sleep state that doesn’t align with the present… some of my past lives were apparently disturbing if my dreams are to be believed great write ❤️
Crim, great to hear from you. Yes, its as if the subconscious is sending messages across time and we’re reliving moments that don’t align. That’s why I love listening to music while writing.
Powerfully penned, Wally. You’re definitely not alone my friend, I can relate. Excellent write. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.

Thank you Damian. Yes, I like that in a way this can be relatable to many. It means that universe is talking to us and we poets are the ones to capture these momentary lapses of thoughts and time.
