Box of Dreams

It’s said everyone has a box of unopened dreams
some are lost upon wakening in the morning sun
some pieces drift away in the dense fog of night
some seem out of reach, like trying to touch a star
some are fragments from another time and space
some just don’t find a way to manifestation….

I found a box filled with dreams inside….

How do we open these boxes of unopened dreams
do we set intentions before the sandman appears
do we look for symbols and signs in the crevices of time
do we dare to take a deeper look into hidden places
do we sail our ship of dreams into uncharted waters
do we fight dragons in hopes of finding our internal fire
do we navigate into worlds unknown, for answers
tell me, how do we open this mystery box of dreams

I found a box filled with dreams inside

Perhaps, all it takes it to open your mind to possibilities
dust off the cobwebs, so good dreams can filter through
close your eyes, travel the roads to your place of heart
put yourself center stage, this is your life, your story
find the courage, to open your one-of-a-kind dream box
remember, dreams are meant to be lived…believe...

  2. Yes... we need to do that... but also let's beware of "false" dreams that we never really want to come true... love the thought of a box of dreams

    1. False dreams interesting terminology for dreams. Perhaps, those dreams are better left unopened. The dreamer is the only one who can truly interpret the dream. Evil will always exist. That is why we all need a dreamcatcher to filter good and bad dreams.

  3. That’s an interesting thought, Truedessa, that box of unopened dreams, and I know that ‘some are lost upon wakening in the morning sun / some pieces drift away in the dense fog of night’. I love the questions in the second stanza, but mostly I love the suggestion to ‘dust off the cobwebs, so good dreams can filter through’. I will try it.

    1. Thank you Kim, I keep dream journals and try to write down what I remember in the morning. Sometimes, the fragments become clearer as time progresses. I have my dust buster handy.when dreams get too heavy

  5. Love how you composed this bop, Truedessa, spinning the perplexity of how to “open this mystery box of dreams” into a beautiful encouragement to “dust off the cobwebs” with courage and belief. An inspiring write.

  12. Very inspirational examination of dreams. I read once, "move, and the universe moves with you." Sometimes trying to figure out every detail is paralyzing. Just move toward it and see what happens...
