The Poet’s Dream
January 30, 2008
Castles in the air bring interesting dreams, which soon became evident, in
the memories Faerie Wren and I had on preparing to make the
journey back to Rainbow Beach. We felt the inspirations of
poet’s dreams, read about them in the vast library,
including T. E. Lawrence on dreaming and living.
Though Faerie Wren did want to underpin the
magical with a few facts for the intellect. Yet the dream really
needed no thought at all, beyond the dream…
which was really perfection itself.
(Thanks You Tube for the vintage clip, Cyd Charisse and Gene Kelly,
dancing the dream sequence from “Singin’ in the Rain“, 1952.)

You will be well prepared for another stage of the journey Imogen, but more about that later. You and Faerie Wren are having quite an experience. That little bird will need to spend some time catching a power nap on his perch
For sure, Heather. Power naps are mandatory, it seems. Wonder what is in store for us down the track, hmmm…sounds either interesting or ominous, Heather, depending how you see it. LOL.
Does this have anything to do with the upcoming ball Heather told us about? I love the clip — a beautiful dance that speaks to the poet’s heart.
You and Faery Wren are quite the pair. Well matched and equally curious.

Dreams and castles in the air… I like this!
Way to tell story Monika- this is a total experience.

I love the way you weave your story, using the known and teasing at the unknown – entrancing.
Beautiful!
Thanks, Ladies!
It’s beautiful, and the dream quotes you linked to are lovely.
I’ve never seen Singing in the Rain, and had fun watching how they kept that giant scarf from tripping them up. I would have ended up wrapped in it like a mummy!
Had to change the dream quotes link because the attribution of the main poem was wrong, so I have linked the poem correctly above, to T.E. Lawrence, or “Lawrence of Arabia”, and it’s an amazing quote.
