Undulations of Cemeteries
I read dreams
They tell me secrets
Sometimes
They
Assail
In tormenting
Flux
But if you watch
& wait
You may reach
The point
Where you learn
To counter balance
Which is an art
In and of itself
Maybe rooted
In a sort of fatalism
Like a dead person
Seeing the dreams
Of the living
Having the wisdom
Of echoing undulations of cemeteries
Published 3rd May 2022
Author's Note
I remember when I used to be tormented
by nightmares I suppose...
I have evolved in my interactions
in the realm of dreams...
* Yesterday I had this really disturbing dream...
But I instantly dissected it and knew what it meant...
I followed the meaning into the depths...
Like a creature of the night staring into the night...
I realized that is what I have done for... So long I feel
I honestly was tormented by nightmares
from an early age...
I used to have even recurring dark dreams
by nightmares I suppose...
I have evolved in my interactions
in the realm of dreams...

Hey Cipher,
Love how this poem started and evolved into empowerment of self.
Especially with nightmares. Perfect title!!!
I can totally see how you conquered this aspect of your life.
So when I dream I learned how to change them. Where I am in control. Nixing what I'm
dreaming if I don't like it and hit the rewind button. In a way interacting to some degree.
Took me a while to even attempt to try. All while still asleep. I use to wake up but I could never
quite reach that same dream spot. Just didn't feel right. So I trained myself not to wake up and
push through it. When I dream In the back of my mind I'm aware it's a dream.
Just like you described
"Like a dead person
Seeing the dreams
Of the living"
or for me - vice versa
Like a living person
seeing the dreams
of the dead
Really related to this whole write - also the authors note.

That is real cool A...
I think that being present
in one's dreams is a sigh of spiritual development...
To be present in a dream
is a sign of having the ability to astral travel...
Another technique is to study your hand
prior to going to sleep...
Really learn the nuances of your palm...
Then...
Attempt to look at your hand in the dream...
And if you are able to do so
really look at it... Bring out the details
Once you are able to do this...
When you look up
into the dream scape...
You will be present...
Have the ability to influence...
Do you fly in your dreams...
I can levitate & fly in my dreams...
[Like a living person
Seeing the dreams
Of the dead]
Bad ass!
I love symmetry
and mirrored things...
There is something magical
about mirrored things...
It also seems to reflect
to me the nature of the dream world...
It is both:
Forward & backward.
Palindromes of the Dream World
Prompt!
I am going to ponder this further A...
Thank you so much

Hey there, C
I currently have a total love/hate battle going on with my dreams or being within that 'dream state'... I have come to realize/feel, as an older lady, me having these weirdo mid life hormones coursing through my body means that my dreams are no longer my own, really (grrrr) .... (Well, honestly, neither is my sleep... Lol!) ..
It's infuriating that this part of life has never really been explained to little girls or teen girls or to women, in general...So we're searching for answers and clinging to whatever information the internet spews or whatever my primary care Dr regurgitates as a blanket answer for everyone, forgetting we're all individuals!! I sometimes feel truly alien, like I'm not human at all... Dreams that I once really looked forward to having, perhaps to feel good in or to try to dissect, no longer make one iotta of sense... It's like falling into this darker not as fun version of Alice's looking glass.... Ha!!...I can't wait to eventually find my way back out!
I do totally love your cleverness in finding inspiration for dark dreams to unfold within the hallowed grounds of a graveyard—a favorite place, for me! My most recent poem has a picture of me looking up into the wonder of a tree's beautiful leaves changing colors... That pic was taken within one of the biggest and most beautiful cemeteries I have ever been in. If you look @ the left edge of the pic you can almost make out a headstone.... It's where I visited one year for Halloween... Lol...Thought that was an interesting coincidence!!
Loved where you took me on this one... Thanks so for sharing with us 🙏

That is so interesting B...
The influence of hormones
upon our dreams...
I believe it is thought
that testosterone levels influence whether we dream at all...
I think that is correct...
I am deeply fascinated by dreams in general...
I do think there are a variety of
types...
From:
Collection, to personal insight, to prophetic...
& perhaps other types...
Man...
My dreams have told me things
Shown me things
Entertained & horrified me... :p
As a wee lad
I had a recurring nightmare about ET...
That's...
Well I have thoughts about that
that go into High Strangeness...
Another interesting aspect of dreams
is the historical value placed upon such things...
Like in ancient civilizations
such as the Roman Empire...
It was required that every dream
of every citizen be documented...
Can you image that?!
That reminds me of the spiritualism
of Nazi Germany and the Vril Society...
Or Greece with the oracles...
I think these things can add to
to a culture & civilization...
However...
Are always available to us
on the individual level...
It is my hope that you will
begin to once more
Have beautiful journeys
in the realm of dreams...
That they propel
you into realms of beauty...
Thank you for your thought provoking comment!
