Dreams

The Passionate Freudian to His Love

  by Dorothy Parker

Dorothy Parker

While the pale moon gleams, we will dream sweet dreams,
 And I'll win your admiration,
For it's only fair to admit I'm there
 With a mean interpretation.
In the sunrise glow we will whisper low
 Of the scenes our dreams have painted,
And when you're advised what they symbolized
 We'll begin to feel acquainted.
So we'll gaily float in a slumber boat
 Where subconscious waves dash wildly;
In the stars' soft light, we will say good-night—
 And “good-night!” will put it mildly.

            
               ~  (excerpt from The Passionate Freudian to His Love)



At night we are at liberty to dream what we wish. The interpretation of dreams launched a whole branch of psychoanalysis introduced by Sigmund Freud.
But those who love need only feel the emotion, admiration and dream sweet dreams. Parker finds the humor in all this and knows love and laughter is the best medicine.
    The song Dreams by Brian Culbertson puts me in a peaceful mood. We may not always understand our dreams, but we can always believe in our dreams. So to every reader, I wish a golden slumber to fill your eyes.
