I dreamt of dreaming

[tectak]

Well....this is the first poem I'm proud of. I have absolutely no knowledge in meter, the concept eludes me for the moment. I did what some label as 'syllabic meter' in efforts of taking my first steps. My dream is to write a sonnet *thinks happily to self.* Go ahead and crucify me guys! It'll help in the long run!

I dreamt of dreaming

I almost swear I dreamt of dreaming --
I saw myself through visions beaming,
And yes, it was the strangest feeling.
It may have been a sporadic doze,
In which outside clamor, interposed, no comma after clamor. Possibly semi colon at line end as you "but" your way into the next line implying conditionality
But into a deeper sleep, I dove.

In this dream I overhead a song,
With melodies, from worlds' beyond,
From a siren who laid near a pond.
My first instinct was to stop and stare,
And listen in, on the song she shared,
Until she flashed an ominous glare.

To this, I stumbled backwards in fright;
I struggled to flea, with all my might,
Until a refrain ended my plight.
By the end of her song, my limbs froze.
Her heavenly hymn sent me to doze,
And into a deeper sleep, I dove.

I saw myself lying in my bed.
A golden goddess perched by my head,
Who then announced, "You're 'ever in debt."
After this encounter, I awoke.
I thought to myself: A dream, I hope?
But on the wall I spotted a note
Which shared the words that goddess spoke.

Interestingly personal interpretation of the lucid dream problem....and it is a problem. Dreams rarely lead to great insights and are often better stated factually, if you get my meaning. Conceptually, you challenge yourself in an arena littered with dead poets Frankly, and because of the foregone, you stuck a conclusion on to the end which evades logic.
Could I suggest.
But on the wall I spotted a tome,
"Note. Get a cabbage on the way home."
Best,
