This is a submission for Kevin’s No Theme Thursday.

“Pay attention,” they told me
And see what you will find
In your dreams there’s messages
Not just fragments of your mind.
Receiving and observing
Happening upon an open door
Stepping unto the threshold
On the other side there’s more.
Releasing my expectations
Of what I was searching for
Sooner then it comes to me
Opening my mind forevermore.
Wandering like my old soul
In lands that seem unfamiliar
Memories playing out again
Recurrence of themes so peculiar.
Upon awakening it’s cloudy
Slipping through as if water
Fading faster than daylight
I wonder why I even bother.
Lucid or prophetic?
In realms of dreams and sleep
They bestow upon me wisdom
Of secrets I will only keep.
So maybe one day I’ll find it
Or perhaps one day not at all
But until that time comes…
I’ll always answer dream’s calls.

She Walks in Dreams… was originally written by me and posted on April 5th, 2024. I decided to update it a bit, I suppose.
Thank you, as always, for reading.
***this is a late entry to Kevin’s NTT, I wrote it before my unplanned hiatus. 😬 Sorry!

Old souls and memories… Paying attention may yet fill the lacuna.

I do my best to pay attention to as much as I can, but you know…as you wake up, it slips, away, away…away…..lol 😵💫

Don’t I ever know what you mean. But it might stick the next time.
Just ask Agent Cooper 😀

I remember this one, I think. Unless the poem itself created the sense of déjà vu, which is also quite possible.

Weirdly enough, as I read it, it made me think of Deja vu, I thought perhaps I had already posted this version, but I didn’t. A strange thing for me as well.

My memory is quite faulty as you know. We had conversed before about dreams, perhaps my brain had tugged on a connection there.

Perhaps. I often have bits of Deja vu here and there so I don’t discount anything

Thank you Laura😊 I’m fine just a bit busy as always. I often read your older posts, there are many pearls and it is also pleasure to explore them because people are usually on your new posts, so there are space you know. I like space and reading in silence then there is so good opportunity to get more out of your writings. To me some posts are not one time stuff but they give every time something new. It is a bit paradoxical that when you yourself feel a little down you at the same time make someone else feeling good. Maybe this is one of your missions, who knows. Anyway you have made me smile many times😊 Last night you were in my dream, ”you smiled”.. Take care😸
