WHILE IN SLEEP
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
While in sleep, I wander nightly,
‘Cross mid of night star-studded skies,
In to dimensions past comprehension,
Where all my dreams materialize.

This body dense does lose its form,
As it does merge with stellar light.
Conscious mind expands with God Force,
As I make my cosmos flight.

My soul does soar among star systems,
Absorbing wisdom from the Beyond.
Sailing like a newborn seedling,
As my soul sings spirit song.

Colors grander than those on Earth,
They are a feast for open eyes.
While sounds and scents vibrate within me,
And life eternal never dies.

As I do wish, so it becomes,
Regardless of my fantasy.
Those wishes of the highest order,
In but a blink be reality.

While in sleep, I wander nightly,
‘Cross mid of night star-studded skies,
In to dimensions past comprehension,
Where all my dreams materialize.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

I with you and your dreams - mine of late have been bizarre and almost frightening weird - like my 84 year old father buying a used limo for a new car and doing doughnuts in the driveway (wink)

Enjoyed this lovely angel -

If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . .

(smiles) I have these beautiful dreams too ever so much, dearest friend! (sigh) I still dream of my dream girl ever so much that I want to see before my very eyes for the first time to hold and to see, and ever so much it's in beautiful fantasy landscapes with smiling stars and Jolly Rancher rainbows and unicorn doves! (giggles) It's just so beautiful, it makes me cry in joy sometimes in the morning and I need five minutes to reflect on the dreams and dry the teats before getting out of bed! God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light alwas shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Gentle Spirited One ~

Yes, most of my dreams are sweet ~ however mares of night have been known to chase them away at times.

Have a great day, Donna!

Miss C ~

"I do believe energies
         and senses travel
      beyond the scope of most;
          sights unravel"

Here is my attempt at finishing what you started


~ And when the mind is open
        The eyes see so much more
   And worlds are revealed to you
        As you walk through open door.  

Thank you for that lovely poetic reply!

Have a fantabulous day, Missy!

Warm hug ~ big smile,

Susan ~

Yes, that one sounds a bit bizarre and bananas! But a dream like that one you had of your grandfather makes the night quite interesting, I would imagine! Your humorous sense of the inane is one of the aspects of your colourful personality that I find so charming, Dear Sparkles!

Loves 'n smiles,

Linda....

While in sleep, I wander nightly,
‘Cross mid of night star-studded skies,
In to dimensions past comprehension,
Where all my dreams materialize.

Reading this made me think...

Can we truly seperate dreaming from consious reality?

Are we more in tune with the cosmos when asleep?

Which is real , the dream state, with untouchable substances,
or the awake, with hard structures we can feel ?

Are the two states truly seperate realities?

Poe asks:*

"Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?"

I love this part...

"Colors grander than those on Earth,
They are a feast for open eyes.
While sounds and scents vibrate within me,
And life eternal never dies."

Makes me want to take a nap..:-)

enjoyed

Thank you for such an indepth and thoughtful reply.

Most often, that which I experience while "sleeping" seems more real to me than what I experience in my waking hours!

Love & Eternal Light,
EA
