dreams fare

on television today, I heard in a movie promo
'you never remember the beginning of your dream'
I contemplated this statement
at first, what I recalled, was not so much about me
but about...so many others
who had stated, in regard to their cause
that 'it had all started as a dream'
then, as for my dreams, I clearly recall that,
it wasn't the beginning of a dream, that I missed,
though I would never recall it,
....but the climactic ending!
the teaser...satisfaction....rarely came to fore, to fruition
it doesn't really matter anyway
many times dreams,
are a result of your diet that day
you may dream by what you may eat
doesn't mean that you dream about the actual food
only that certain foods, steer your voyage that night
if only we could chart a course...
perhaps a seven course meal
would find us on seven seas, or seven planes
we're already aware that our dreams...
carry us from one plane, to the next
...and then back again
sometimes...repeatedly!
sometimes I dream of a man version of me
so much different than my 17 year old personna
I see it and think 'oh, that's nice'
I look forward to that some day...
those many times, when things may not go so well
a person may reflect 'I must have been dreaming'
but in truth, was only wishful thinking
...after the fact
I'm dreaming...right now
I'm dreaming of you and you and you and you and...me!
....and, of course, of every desire we may harbor...
oh please...let me remember any part of it...

"You may be an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of an underdone potato." ...ok, Hedi, would you care to be the beef?, maybe Andrew's the cheese, I'll volunteer to be the underdone potato, who wants the mustard? Very dreamy write man, where's the beef?...why WV of course!

Hi, hedistuff,
I love the wit in your poems...and then back again sometimes...repeatedly! What an ending to dreams fare: oh please...let me remember any part of it.... That's one I hope not to forget! Thank you for sharing.

Nice read makes me think that maybe before I go to bed I should eat some kind of passion fruit and a couple of sleep aids so I don't wake up to soon before the fun starts. Then again maybe I should go with something spicy. seriously though a good food for thought poem no pun intended thanks for the share never knew that food influenced thoughts in dreams K.R

Some folks say "you are what you eat," but some of us think "you are what you dream." Nice dream Hedi!

I marvel at the beautiful and mature way your mind works, that you can take a mere movie-promo and turn it into this mature, deep and fascinating commentary on an obscure aspect of life..., although, as an ardent student of the human psychie, I cannot agree that dreams are merely a result of the food we ingested that day, I nevertheless enjoyed all the other delghtful twists and turns your writing took, ... the Bushmen of Southern Africa have a saying: "we're all a dream that someone else is dreaming...", thanks for sharing my dream Hedi...
