Beyond what we know

Like a whisper from behind.
A note slipped in from below the door.
The slipping of a veil on what we knew lay beyond but couldn't clearly see.
Dreams tell us more than the reality
that we think we know.

I like the conundrum of this, that dreams tell us more than the reality that we think we know! I could hang a star on this one, Sapphus.

Thank you Kelly.

I am 75 and still don't understand reality...and dreams seem to be more fun anyway.And I like your title, because I find that the more I know the less I know.

Or that we just do not feel like knowing anymore.... Thank you Jacob.

hi Sapphus, reading this slowly, a whisper from behind, a note slipped in from below the door, all have signs of the discreet, secretive...
Are those your kinds of dreams?
Very provocative writing!

[Sapphus]

My dreams are enigma to me. Thank you for reading.

This fragment reads like a **half-remembered prophecy**—soft, elusive, but pulsing with the certainty that *reality is not what we think*. It’s a **snippet of surreal wisdom**, where dreams, whispers, and slips of paper hint at deeper layers of existence.

Thank you for reading.

Maybe for some, Sapphus. For others like me, my sleep remains undisturbed and the only thing felt or seen is the comfort of a fluffy pillow. Many do place a lot of significance in what they dream about and some even live their realities according to what they dream. I just think they are ramblings of thoughts that create an abstract mental picture while our brain and body lies in a state of rest. If you can make sense of your dreams, then all power to you. I enjoyed your musing. ❤️

Thank you Marina.

If you can make sense of your dreams, consider yourself fortunate Sapphus. Mine are a complete dog’s dinner. Enjoyed the read:)

i have been thinking a lot about all the things i do not know. it is so natural to believe we know everythign and that we are good people. yet recently taking to some very idiotic people who think they're smart i began to do a bit of soul searching. whether in dreams or in writing, our true selves are revealed. it is our goal in life to know thyself and such meditations are important.

I have heard dreams can tell us things. Unfortunately, mine speak mostly gibberish.

[Sapphus]

I am lucky then. Thank you for the comment.
