A very well-written scary poem about dreams that are closer to be nightmares. When we sleep we have no control of our mind our subconscious mind will reveal what we have deep inside ourselves that even we are not aware of revealed in our dreams.

Yes. I've heard that guilt comes into it. Maybe you were missing school or avoiding homework and you punished yourself with nightmares.?
I have been imaging a hand grabbing my foot as I step into bed at night. I'm sure it's me being guilty as I'm by myself too much.
Well done

Well, Miss Jan, if you live alone - don't now if you do - have friends over maybe or something. Have you told anyone of your dream? That, in itself, might make it stop. Anyway, thanks for reading my poem and commenting.
Comment from Gloria ....
Hey author, this is really good. I was interested to see what was going to happen. Dreams are fascinating and for a period of time I did some dream analysis as a hobby for friends until they got disturbed with the accuracy, so I stopped. lol
Love the gammer school phonetic spelling. Excellent entry and I wish you much luck in the booth.

thanks, Gloria. I like your new picture, by the way. :)
You're welcome to interpret mine, if you care to - tho they were so long ago, who knows. I think it's funny, your friends' reactions to your accuracy.
Thanks again.

What a realistic poem. So many of us have nightmares and they are just as frightening as adults as when we were children. You did a nice job! Good luck with your contest.

Thank heavens I don't still have them, but as you can see, they're still there in my mind. I don't sleep long enough, now, to have 'em. :)
Thanks again for reading.
Comment from Iza Deleanu
Interesting choice of poem: Nightmares that are following you everywhere like a constant reminder to live afraid.
" I mean, back then, I was a child
In "grammer school"-- we called it, then,
I'm sure I wasn't always good,
But those nightmares were akin
To torture!"
Good luck with the contest

Thanks, Dolly. when my granddaughter lived with me I used to play pretty music for her to go to sleep to. But I don't think yours live with you. Thanks for the good wishes.
Comment from Cindy Warren
I think a lot of kids dream of being chased. My guess is that it has something to do with all the warnings about strangers. Sometimes I still dream something is after me and my legs won't work. Good luck in the contest.

Isn't it funny - the legs thing. Horrifying.
Back when it happened to me, we led such carefree, innocent lives I don't think we ever worried about strangers - of course we weren't in a big city, either. Thanks for reading and for commenting.
