RE: "What Do Animals Dream?" A Reading on DSound

in #dsound7 years ago

On a slightly more serious note, our remaining pup at 14.5 dreams deeper than ever, but it's always, always accompanied by the dance of his back paws, as if he's running to something, to somewhere in each of these dreams. I'd spent countless hours imagining the world that calls to him thus....

Could never articulate any of it. And now, I don't have to.

Sort:  

The dreaming deeper than ever seems a parable, or euphemism, for approaching The Deep End...

But, that might be my morbid imagination. Animal dreams are serious business, like ours (especially, if you’re Buddhist, or in analysis). Birds, for example, rehearse flight formation; other animals, too, (like humans) process what they’ve learned that day, or might’ve-could’ve learned 😃

Happy this poem speaks to you, my friend.
