Languages, signs, and symbols float everywhere,
They haunt me, refusing to disappear.
–
It’s snowing in a post,
I spy a white furry ghost.
–
Words written are foreign,
How to get them translated, it’s forgotten.
–
I make a click on my mouse,
I see a rocket dropping on my house.
–
I make another click, carrying fear,
I see a shark flying, coming near.
–
I hold my breath, shutting the computer down,
A bear pops out of the screen, big and brown.
–
I try my best to scream,
I find myself shivering in bed, it’s just a dream.

Wonderful dream symbolism, Jingle. Now, if I only knew what the symbols mean. Ah, I’m not asking personal questions. LOL I loved the poem.
it is a raw piece, I did not refer to particular symbols..
Thanks for the wonder.

Good poem to start with. Very nice.
I’m sweating just reading this…
What do all those images mean in our dreams? Thank goodness we can wake up! 🙂

Our dreams speak the language of the cinemas. Loved the fun poem which just flowed and drifted off like a dream.
Dreams. Sometimes happy, sometimes scary. Always confusing.
Sleeping like a baby and having wild dreams! Cool! Sounds like life alright! Blessings to you…
I don’t know about dreams…I think sometimes real monsters crawl into my computer and slow it down!
I like it very much.
Ooooh! A bit chilling. Wonderful Potluck contribution. Thanks, Ji.
A fun poem about dreams – thanks 😀 xx
Dreams are funny things!
…you captured them well. I read this thinking how odd it was that it went from one random thing to another, then at the end I realised it was a dream and it all made sense because that is exactly what dreams do! Nice one 🙂
I love your dream, and the many meanings it can take.
Great imagery! That sounds like a blogger’s nightmare if I ever heard one. 😮
Great images to get lost in!
Sometimes it is a relief to wake up from a dream!
Ooh, scary dream! But I like the imagery…there’s a certain magic to it.
What a dream….seems so unreal, i would have shreiked and run down stairs to the security guard out of fear lol (yeah…i live alone and i am a scardy cat)…….
I like the “click” before every new element in the dream 🙂
Beautiful cyberspace dream…
I’m glad it was just a dream! Nicely told!
I hold my breath, shutting the computer down,
A bear pops out of the screen, big and brown.
Loved this, what a creative poem–you are so innovative.
Hey, your imagination took my breath away. 🙂
Great entry and Happy Potluck!
Glad it was just a dream! Lovely! Perfect Potluck!
Fun poem, Jingle. I love the bear coming out of the computer screen.
Now that is what I would call a nightmare, Jingle.
Love the imagery.
I just remember the Visayan song entitled; “Ulan Gikan sa Kalangitan” (Rain from Heaven). The song is telling a story about a man who have a date with a beautiful woman but when the man was about to embrace the woman he was awaken and he found out that it was a dream, and he has having a high a fever. Its quite a funny song and they have something in common with your lines “I try my best to scream,
I find myself shivering in bed, it’s just a dream.” I enjoyed so much while reading your craft Jingle.
each scene so disconnected, but not… was wondering what might appear next
Hello Jingle, this here is exploration of the imagination. A vivid piece. I look forward to reading & sharing more poetry. JH 🙂
