A Bad Dream
I woke with a start, not knowing the truth
was it a bad dream, a memory or both
I had tossed and turned, a tumultuous sleep
From where it all came I may never knowth
It started out fine, an unfamiliar place
it looked like a museum, totally fine
Then it got twisted with weird rooms and each
had gotten me into some physical bind
There were rooms with some wackos and some that were plain
But the melancholy feel was always the same
Some had these tunnels or secretive doors
Was this a challenge or a mystery game?
It ended with me, all alone in the world
trying to find my boyfriend, time to go home
But try as I might, I called and I called
he never felt compelled to pick up his phone

This sort of dream is scary, the sense of being lost and alone, then not being able to call for help.

Dreams often leave behind feelings of euphoria or, in your case, melancholy. I hope the effects fade quickly. Thank you for sharing this with our challenge.

It ended up being one of those half and half sort of mornings.

Thanks, yeah it sort of threw me for most of the day. They are hard to shake especially when you can’t remember the details but know about the feelings it gave you.

Indeed. What I mostly remember about my dreams is how they made me feel. I seldom remember any details.

I find it so strange that the minute I wake up I usually think I will remember my dream but it literally disappears from my head!
