This was so eerie. I had a dream only once like that. My mother was very superstitious and her greatest fears were snakes and blood. In this dream, I am running through a forest filled with trees and from every tree hang snakes. I have a large machete which I am slashing at the snakes, there is blood everywhere and dead snakes. Bar one. I couldn't kill the last snake I tried my hardest but I couldn't. I heard later from my very Catholic father my mother had died three times throughout a lung removal operation and three times she rallied. sincerely Anne

    Wow! and Wow! Anne, I am so profoundly grateful for these six-stars. Oh, how I simply hate snakes...

Your poem is very well done, good rhyming throughout, but tells a sad story. Sometimes dreams are scary and are showing us something that is going to happen. I presume that this is a true experience, and am so sorry you had to go through something like this.

    Anne, thank you. Yes, and I watch my dream messengers far more intently and far more seriously.

Oh, my gosh,

It sounds like this dream - rather this nightmare - was not just a
dream, but a nightmare that became true in the light of day. I have
dreamt things that since became true - thankfully, nothing as horrific
as this. I pray this is not based on real-life - if it is, I am so incredibly
sorry. Good luck in the contest.

    Thanks, this was a shock! But years ago and it was less painful to write from the memory of that dream event, Thanks for the good wishes.

    Roy my friend, I had the luxury to do a week long dream conference and OMG, the tremendous amount of wonderful things came from this event. Since that immersion in dreamwork, I have had a journal beside my bed, to capture these evening messengers. Much on my poetry comes form these notes.
