This strikes home because I can completely and totally relate to the feeling a bad dream can have on you, especially when just waking from it. This poem I think captures the feeling very well. It's a time when your still caught up in every emotional aspect of the dream and the fact that it was "just a dream" doesn't really matter cuz of the subject matter and the emotions themselves... they are as real as any emotions you experience while awake... sometimes even more so. Any poem written this well about waking up from a horrible dream is worth a close look everytime and lots of praise. Keep em comin homes.
