I’m climbing steep grades
Gets steeper as I go up
No way to go down
Head off back of pillow…
My mind floated through
Struggles from the past // long gone
Woke to a new day
Glad dreams aren’t reality
Reruns seem real while asleep

I am always fascinated by dreams, their origins and purpose. Definitely there are some that are nothing but repeated realities that we just don’t want to repeat!

So glad you got the comments fixed. Waking some mornings, not a believer in “hell” as you know, I do think, however, a good torture for hell would be to put us in perpetual REM. Dream, usually aren’t pleasant, eh? (BTW, I responded to your comment.)

You are right about that…. some dreams are torture for sure! I will check your response. I think many of us have been to hell and back a couple of time. Thanks.

It is interesting how so many in the “steep” prompt had a lot to do with dreams, this is at least the 8th one I remember, wonder if many of us dream of Sysiphean tasks. In any case, wishing you sweet dreams. 🙂
