Sometimes I awake
from a deep sleep
because I think
I hear my name called
and I find myself answering.
I am just awake enough
to see my answer
slip away into the night...
leaving only the faintest echo.

Yo dear Ida,

It's interesting that you "see" spoken words in your dreams.

like dejavu ... what you describe here is, I believe, an experience
common to many of us ... rather 'interesting,' methinks?!

VERY well 'penned' !

I used to hear  "Mom.... Can we go..."  I would answer in my sleep my children's questions and then not remember they'd been there.  It was no dream, but sometimes I thought it was.  They'd say later, "Well, we asked you.  You SAID WE COULD!"     Imps!

I have heard those words."Mom" and gotten up to see if some one came in.I have gotten up in the middle of the night to answer the door bell. Even as a teen ager away from home I had to call home as I thought I heard my mother calling during the day. I often wonder if these were messages from someone somewhere?  thanks Ida for the memory. latearrival

Echoes of what was, what is, what will be. A dream within a dream... who is to say what lies beyond the seam of reality and dream. I enjoyed the read. Peace.
