"Vapour-eyes"

I had a dream
Within a dream
Where I slept soundly
No words, no thoughts
No limit, no boundary

The dream of a dream
I have ever so often
Was cousin to an illusion
Made me feel warm
Like sunrise to a setting sun

I slept some more
For in my dream I could
Build my own landscape
In my little world
I could carry a different face

When the night walked away
My dream faded
The light of the mind
Grew dim, grew down
Gone was the sleep of a child

I awoke, I was crying
Because within a dream
There isn't reality
Within a dream
Is another fantasy.

within the dream isn't fantasy
but desire and desires are real
not fantasized

Ethereal - almost surreal (!).

I like!

At the risk of repeating myself, do read http://eserver.org/books/poe/dream_within_a_dream.html - my favourite poem.

Afterthought: All dreams trammel desire? Not so sure..

Lolly..most desires are fantasized..how else do they remain desires..and never become a reality

desires are fantasized??

so everytime you desire for something, that something is a fantasy?

how you go about filling that lacunae could be a big fantasy but your end object is real and thats why we tend to fantasize
