Even the Blind can Dream

Even the Blind can Dream
mazHur

Truth is like a dream,
some with eyes
see it while awake;
yet there are some with eyes
who dream in their sleeps;
Whatever they see
maybe true or false, who knows?
but appears to be true
(how could it be false if seen?)
on the canvass of mind.
Truth is always the same
only we perceive it differently;
were Truth not dreams,
dreams not Truth
the blind would never dream!:D

This is interesting, and I think blind people too dream and dreaming is not seeing with eyes only it has to do with other parts of the body too. In dreams you will do a variety of jobs.

If one is blind in a world of realities he will not see light in dreams also, but he dreams and it is not just seeing dreams, doing too.

thank you, Blaze. I wonder what if all dreams came true?
dreams have no boundaries. Those with eyes and the blind equally dream and why shouldn't they?

Maybe dreams are realities and what we take to be realities maybe dreams. We are confused whether what I do now is in a dream.

TRUE...you never know
what was
is no more
eyes only see
what's emerging
this cycle goes on
reality changes faces
like scenes in a dream!

Here's link to Edgar Allan Poe's' beautiful poem

The last lines of his poem sum up the whole thing

''Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?''
Poe

Does the dream differ for those who have never seen, as opposed to those who lost their sight? And if so, at what age would come the difference, if any?! Important in-sight???;)

No dreams do not differ for any whether or not one is blind. Blind dreams with the same intensity as the rest do in point of fact.

Dreams do not vanish with age. Maybe children and adults dream differently. Maybe if you want to know more about it you can refer to dream analysts.

The poet has little to do with the literal aspect of it. He has more of a symbolic meaning here.

I like your poem MazHur. I think truth can often be as fleeting as a dream, hard to see, hard to remember. I wish, oh how I wish, my dream of two nights ago was the truth. I am going to hold it as such.
