The One With "A Dream Within a Dream"

My all time favorite poet, Edgar Allan Poe, once asked the question:
"Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?".

What for us is reality and what is just a dream?

Lately,
despite the chaos of the world and the confusions within our lives,
I actually found a small piece of a dream that exists in my reality.

For knowing that, I am always blessed.

This is for you.

A Dream Within a Dream

By: Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow—
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand—
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep—while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
