Trying to Remember a Dream

Good Dreams are easier to recall

I remember the time I had a good dream.
It made me feel happier and lighter.
I opened my eyes the next day.
Everything seemed so much brighter.
It was only after I realized it was just a dream,
That I could remember all the tiny details.
The dream of living like a millionaire was not real,
It was like a movie masterpiece on a film reel.

A bad dream on the other hand,
Is not easy to remember every detail.
You remember the bad parts with clarity.
The hazy parts disappear like a vanishing tail.
The nightmares are usually vivid and scary.
Like being chased by a headless horseman,
Who disappears into an old oak tree.

Have you had a good dream recently?
You must have awoken to happiness and light,
As you felt filled with wonderment and delight.
Did you have a bad dream or a nightmare recently?
It is possible that the scary parts were very vivid.
While you hopped from dream to dream in a haze,
Leaving you waking up to be scared, shaken, and dazed.
