October 15, 2014 Where Have My Dreams Gone (Tanka) 10 Comments Where have my dreams gone My mind a dark theatre I wake to nothing No recollection of sleep Only a nocturnal void ~~ Dominic R.

I suppose something would be better than nothing as I don’t even have nightmares anymore. I can’t remember the last time I woke up and even recalled a part of a dream, it must be years now. I find it very bizarre. Reply
I really love this one — and — for some reason, it really makes me think of the prompt at Heeding Haiku with HA: http://mindlovemiserysmenagerie.wordpress.com/2014/10/15/heeding-haiku-with-ha-worlds-of-our-own-making/ “Things do not always turn out to be the same as we think they would. The perceived idea and the reality is sometimes contrary to each other.” Perhaps you’d consider linking? Reply
Perhaps. 🙂 I have that prompt in my email, I’m hoping to get to it sometime over the next couple of days…maybe even today. 🙂 Reply
Mine do it all the time, I never have any recollection of ever dreaming during sleep. It seems to be quite unusual, but maybe I’m wrong. Reply

Indeed – so true!!
Thank you very much Mihrank, I appreciate it. 🙂
I just wrote about having nightmares and being unable to sleep. Want to trade our nights? 🙂

Very intense, Dom. I have been there!
Well it’s nice to know that I’m not alone. 🙂
Maybe your dreams know that you need rest? Mine do that sometimes.
