Prelude To A Dream
Still and solemn,
Drifting,
Sifting through
A filmstrip of events,
Moments
Rolling by,
Visual, graphic, muted,
Undisputed
Not suited
For retelling,
Dispelling substantive certainty,
Dreams inadvertently
Convey unconfuted fact,
It's how we interact with
Or better yet hack with,
Things we don't quite
Know,
Don't quite want,
Don't quite understand,
Don't quite realize,
Can't quite dream.
Decamping from days until dawn
A yawn
That signifies travel,
Wrapped in comfort,
Nestled in nuance,
Fluid flow of rest.

You've got some great lines here, like
"A filmstrip of events"
That truly stands alone! I think that would be a better title, I'm not completely understanding where the Dream comes in until the end.
You might want to clean up grammar/punctuation a little bit, in the lines "Things we don't quite/Know/Want/Understand..." you might try lower-casing them and using commas or ellipsis to detach it from itself.
Other lines I really liked were "A yawn/That signifies travel,/Wrapped in comfort,/Nestled in nuance,/Fluid flow of rest." If it were a song, I'd write it in Mixolydian because it speaks and sounds dreamy!
Overall, a great read!
