“Dreams at Night” interpretation

I believe this is talking about Walter and his dreams. For right now they’re at the back of his mind, but he’s hoping that the child inside Ruth (or perhaps Travis) will have a better life because of the dreams Walter hopes to pursue, even if he has to wait to pursue them.

Walter doesn’t think they will ever come true, he keeps his dreams in his heart, but they’re fading. He’s angry so he begins to hate and it is ruining his dream.

I am going to interpret “The Fate o Dreams”.

When your dreams are dreams to you, and not a reality, they tend to get lost with everything else going by so quickly. But sometimes we get too engulfed in what we are trying to achieve. It is all we can think about, and we are burried in everything else. If a dream is really worth while, it will stay strong throughout all of the hardships in your life, and survive through the toughest times. When all of it is over, they are still there, waiting for you to achieve what they stand for.

“The Fate of Dreams”
I think what this poem is saying is that dreams that succeed are rare, but once in a while, they really do come true. It talks about the survival of a dream through everday life and also about how sometimes dreamers drive themselves insane trying to achieve them. It also says that some dreams just fade away while some become realiy.

“Dreams at Night”
This poem talks about how sometimes we try to push our dreams to the back of our minds, tryin to ignore or quiet them. But sometimes a hopeful someone can make it come true. It goes on to tell about how dreams are obscured by the harshness of reality but how they never really completely disappear.

The Fate of Dreams:

Life is a very complicated place for dreams to be pursued. many times they never make it throught the “twists and turns” or hardships that people endure. Sometimes the dreamer loses the dreams or finds new ones, and occasionally the dream is chased down and accomplished.

Dreams At Night:

Even if you do not pursue your dreams someone else might. Dreams never go away, they just wait. Dreams have a lot of resistance and competition to make it into reality but they will always be there.

My interpretation of “The Fate of Dreams” by Eric Brichetto and Brian Wood is that through the stess found in life or just by ill fate our dreams, wether or not we fight for them, can get caught up in all the misfortune and be taken from us, or “die away.” But there is also a chance that we don’t kill them, but in our fight to keep our dreams alive and keep something worth fighting for, it consumes us, and ruins our own life even though that was not the intention. And rarely, they survive. Through the choas and tears, hard times and lucky breaks when we turn around we find that our dreams still there, having grown and learned something of value from the hard times and are just waiting for and oppertunity to become reality.

“The Fate of Dreams” by Eric Brichetto and Brian Wood

I would interpret this poem and saying how dreams are. They can come true if you make them. But if you leave them and do nothing nothing will happen. This poem is saying how sometimes dreams can withstand life’s un expectant turns, and how sometimes it can’t. Dreams can be made into what you want or put under the covers and away for another time. Some people might go through all heights of the earth to accomplish their dreams. Or you have a dream that you don’t really know you have and it is never found.

This poem relates to the book in many ways. Bennie has a dream of becoming a doctor. She has to face many hard times to get to that point. she has to face being an African American women in an industry full of white men. Her family is blocking her dreams by putting barriers up and saying how she won’t be able to do it. They also don’t have the money to pay for school They put the money that could have been for school into a new house. Mama has a dream of her family becoming closer together. They are all separated and fight a lot. Mama also has a dream that the black race can notice where they come from and acknowledge it. She also wants her family to live normal without anything holding them away from hit. Without any road blocks keeping them from it. She wants her family to withstand all of life’s turns and make it through to their dreams.

Response to “Dreams at Night”

I think that they are saying that your dreams never go away. They are saying that they will always be there even if you arn’t thinking about it.

Response to “The Fate of Dreams”

I think that they are saying that sometimes people become obsessed with their dreams and they go crazy, and that sometimes through all the stress of life they get lost and forgoten. They are also saying that every once in a while dreams do come true.

“A Memory of a Dream” -Scott Vant Hul

a dream,
an idea,
a want.

it’s your and thats it.
will they understand?
do they need to?

you have seen it happen before
first there then gone.
only a memory is left,
a memory of a dream.

but what if this time,
this time,
it’s respected and excepted.

would any one really care,
of your dream?
would any one really agree,
with your idea?
would any one really stop
your want?

it is yours.

“Through And Through”

Through all and all
I am a dreamer
I am a dreamer
As sometimes my words may fall
Yet, still,
I am a dreamer

Through all and all
My mind will wander
My heart will grow heavy
As my sould becomes weak
Through all and all
I am a dreamer
I am a dreamer

so through all and all
I will stand, in all of this
A dreamer
And for that, is just enough
For I am a dreamer.

“The Fate of Dreams”

I really like this poem, they did a fantastic job in writing it.

First of I can instantly relate this poem back to what Walter is feeling in his life. He has just one dream, to be a liquor store owner and make something of his life. But his life is so complicated and so many obstacles are being thrown at him. He’d be lucky if he ever accomplished this dream. He is obsessed with his goal and will hurt anyone who tries to get in his way, which we experience when we see the way Walter talks to his family. Walter is shocked when Mama trusts him with some of her remaining money. She didn’t like seeing Walter with his dreams shattered and hoped that the money would reincarnate his dream. The poem almost foreshadows the troubles that still lie ahead for Walter. Will he suceed? Or will his dreams break, and leave him in pieces once again?

it gives a connection between an acual sleeping dream and one that you want to acheve in a very good manner it shows that both types of dreams all you need to do is awaken them and try to acheve something and all you need to revive a dream is a good sleep or more of the mening a spring forwared in your life a a awakening and that you can never erase a dream but it can be covered up and bared like what is happening in the story becase they are all mad at each other.

The first poem talks about dreams and how they can stay with you during the good times and the bad. The ups and the downs. That they can consume you. They can take over you and make you lust for only that. It talks about the power of dreams and what they can make you do. How far they can make you go. they can make you go wild. I believe this poem is talking about the power to dream, and to have dreams. If and when they come true you will be stronger than anything ever.

The second poem talks about how dreams can be filed away in the back of your head. Not forgotten but not relalized. They can come out of hibernation when they are realized or remembered. The reason you filed them away was because you thouhgt they were imposible. But only when you relize anything is possible then they come out of dormancy.

I Think the first poem is basically saying that some dreams are lost and others are forgotten and some are worked to hard upon that they are lost and then some do come true.

rose and lisa’s poem represents how dreams never die and how they can always be revived even though you know that it won’t or couldn’t come true they still come back.

Dreams in the sense of the poem are not discribed quite as we think of dreams: and untouchable object, and idea. But through the words written we come to understand that dreams are more then just a “something,” but almost a “someone.” They can be affected by the surrounds or events that occur. They can thrive or wilt, depending on the person who carrys dream and their inner strength and desire to keep the dream alive and pure.

Interpereting:”The Fate of Dreams”–This poem is very much relateable to “A Raisin In The Sun”.
“The Fate of Dreams” by Eric Brichetto and Brian Wood

Through all of life’s
Twists and turns*
And peace and strife*
And ups and downs,*
How do dreams
Make it through
Alive?
Sometimes they don’t,
twisted and lost
by the stresses of life.
Sometimes they become
an obsession,
and the dreamer
destroys himself.
Sometimes the dream
Remains,
but is never really realized.
And sometimes,
Just sometimes,
the dream still stands
Is realized
When the dreamer presses on
And it comes out of the smoke
Healthy
And strong.

*-The Younger family is faced with many twists and turns due to racism and poverty and misfortune. One example could be when Walter finds out that the $6500 that mama gave him were stolen by his friend Willy, with whom he trusted the money. Another example would be the pregnancy, an added complication to the already complicated life of the Younger family.
This poem could be related to both Walter and Mama’s dreams–Walter’s dream never seems to work out, while mama’s dream of owning a house comes true and yet there are many twists and turns such as the racism that the family is faced with by the neighbors in the neighborhood that Mama bought the house in. Like in the poem, Walter’s dream does truly become an obsession that hurts the family a lot because he loses the $6500 and other problems come along because of his obsession with the dream of owning a liquor store. I think that this poem greatly symbolizes “A Raisin In The Sun”, all you have to do is read through it and think a little bit and they are very alike–ups and downs, strife, twists and turns, dreams, etc.

Interpereting “Dreams at Night”
“Dreams at Night” by Rose Van Huffel and Lisa Pickard

Darkened in the back of your mind
Revived in time
Even if it’s not by you
A child of hope can
Make it come true
Sleeping in the silent mind
A dream waits
To be revived
Never, you think, will they come true
In your heart of hearts it stays
Growing dimmer by the day
Hate and despair clouds the perfect dream
That time cannot erase

This poem is very much relateable because hate and dispair and many hardships cloud Walter’s dream of owning a liquor shop, and also because of the American Dream and how the Younger family yearns for it so much and yet no matter how hard they work at it they cannot seem to reach it. Their dreams are clouded by dispair much like in this poem.

Wow those poems are really good.

Ok the first poem by Eric and Brian is about following ones dreams, and how sometimes life takes a toll on the dreamer and he or she gives up hope and the dream is lost. However sometimes when the dreamer is strong and determined the dream makes it out ok, and the dreamers dream finally comes true.

The second poem by Rose and Lisa is about how if a dream is held inside and not strived for to come true, eventualy the dream weakens. Until one day it disappears, and the dream is forgotten all together, never to come true.

~“The Fate of Dreams” by Eric Brichetto and Brian Wood means how do dreams your dreams survive? You go through many things in your life and how do you keep you dreams alive? Sometime your dreams die out or are killed by the stress of life. In other instances a person becomes obsessed with their dreams and the dream ends up hurting them. Also some dreams just are there all the time and nothing is really done about them. If the dreamer works hard and keeps striving for their dream they will come out on top.

~“Dreams at Night” by Rose Van Huffel and Lisa Pickard means some dreams are left in the back of your mind, it was a childhood dream forgotten. If the child trys hard enough it will come true. But until then it just waits in the back of your mind. You don’t think it will be able to come true, but the dream still stays with you. It grows weaker the longer you don’t try to chase it.

“dreamer”
breanna kay cornell

a worker works
a thinker thinks
a dreamer dreams

as the worker works
and the thinker thinks
the world continues
at it’s usual pace
as the dreamer dreams
in an unreal time
of what was once
or to be thine

the worker progresses
with the thinker’s ideas
the world advances
to a faster pace
but with the dreamer’s dreams
what comes of them?
a life that be nothing but barren?

the worker is in the here and now
while the thinker looks ahead to plan
but a dreamer lives in a different world
one that is but inside his head

a dreamer’s dreams
if not shared
tear life apart
into a nightmare

a dreamer’s dreams
if not understood
tear families in shards
love but disintegrated

struggle a dreamer does
and struggle he must
for a dream can evolve to thought
and thought to doing
so a dreamer evolves
to a thinker
to a worker
and creates a new world
of his own …

for better or worse
a dreamer never stops dreaming

“The Fate of Dreams”
Summery: How do dreams survive threw out life’s
hardships?
Some do not make it threw the hardships of life.
Some dreams take over the dreamer. Some make
it to the end.

“Dreams at Night”
Summery: A dream is put in the back of your mind, it waits to be alive. You don’t think it can ever come true, so there it rots.

“Dreams at Night” is a poem about your wondering mind, and that one subconscious thought always in the back of your head, never truly forgotten. Day to day activities may trigger these visions, angering you in defeat and desolation. Waiting until sleep takes you, your vibrant dreams linger to be brought alive once more. You awake to more depression, thinking there are no possibilities, but in your heart there are endless. Those hopes fade in and out, but over the years they forever remain.

“The Fate Of Dreams” is talking about the survival rate of our ambitions. In a world filled with depression, hatred, and war how do we continue to have hope that our dreams will one day come true when we are surrounded by failure? Sometimes the little taks of life take up too much time in the day and don’t leave any left for us to follow our dreams, so they fade away, never to return. Sometimes we become so infatuated with our ambitions that we end up suffocating ourselves in the pressure to succeed. Sometimes our goals are sitting there right before our eyes, but we are too blind to see what we truely want in life. And very rarely we accomplish our goals and we are completely at ease with ourselves. It’s rare, but it happens.

“Dreams At Night” is talking about how time errodes the strength of our dreams. The longer we put off our heart’s desires the further away the dreams slip. We need to strive to achieve these goals while we’re still young. Before we have to face reality, before we realize that everything doesn’t grow on trees or come from our parents, before we have to worry about our futures, before politics means more than who we’re going to vote for for student body president. We need to have the strength, determination, and courage to achieve our goals. And they’ll always be in the back of our minds, covered by the everyday stresses of life. All they need is a little bit of hope and they’ll come back to life.

“the Fate Of Dreams”

I think this is talking about that our lifes can be very difficult and some days its good and some arent. If you have a dream you have to fight for it and not let it just pass by you. and when you fight for that dream it will come true.

Second response-

Response to “Dreams at Night”

I think that they are saying that your dreams never go away. They are saying that they will always be there even if you arn’t thinking about it at that moment, your dreams will never die.

Response to “The Fate of Dreams”

I think that they are saying that sometimes people become obsessed with their dreams and they go crazy. they are also saying that sometimes through all the stress of life the dreams can get lost and forgoten. They are also saying that every once in a while dreams do come true if you work hard at reaching them.

I am also going to interpret “Dreams at Night”.

If a dream is truly remarkable and worth while, you’re heart can never just give up on it. You may forget, and move on to bigger things, but it will always be in the back of your mind. The smallest things may remind you of what you wanted to become, and may urge you to follow that dream later on. I think this, like “The Fate of Dreams”, is also about your dreams getting lost in everything else in your life, but never letting them disappear.

Dream On

Dreams are your life
Dreams are your goals
Dreams are your light
Dreams are your perseverance
Dreams are your happiness
Dreams are your escape
Dreams are your destination
Dreams are your life
Dream ON!

“The Fate of Dreams”

This poem leaves a really strong, to the point message. It relays different outcomes that will happen to each and everyone of our dreams. Through life and experiences, sometimes it seems impossible to fulfill your lifelong dreams. So, they may either never happen or we become obsessive about them and end up ruining our lives focusing on this one achievement. But sometimes the dream truly happens through hard work and determination. The three different outcomes explain what will happen to our dreams through out our lives.

“Dreams at Night”

This poem has more of a dark tone. It kind of displays that dreams stay in your heart and never come true. That day by day your dream slowly disintegrates into nothing but a childhood goal. Then it says that sometimes your dreams may come true not by your own work but by the work of others. Dreams wait to happen, they do not just come when we want them.

Where dreams are made-

Dreams are made from our soul’s desire,
With the steaming intensity of a forest fire,
When first created they feel so strong,
Yet they slowly fade as we move along,

Some we catch and some we let go,
The dead dreams fall like ash and snow,
Littering the ground we can’t dismiss,
The dreams we had of love and bliss,

So find out where your dreams reside,
Bring them out don’t let them hide,
Don’t let your dreams blow away like leaves,
Or be snatched up by the pillaging thieves,
Keep your dreams and hold them tight,
Dreams can come true yours just might.

By steve oberlin

The poem “The Fate of Dreams” is saying that dreams die when the dreamer does not push through the hard times to come out with a dream come true. It says that dreams often do die when a rough stretch of life kills and destroys the chance of the person to realize their potential.

I think the poem “Dreams at Night” is saying that childhood dreams are in the back of your mind in hope that you will discover them and fulfill them. However, they are often set aside because you think they are too far fetched and unrealistic to be achieved so you dont even try to live out the dreams you held so dear as a child, and the farther back you place them in your mind the less likely they are of coming reality.

In the poem “The Fate of Dreams” There is a dream that fails, a dream that sits there, and a dream that comes true. In the play there are two kinds of this dream. There is the one for Mama in which she is wishing so much to live in a good neighborhood where Travis can play. This one does come true. Another dream that does not come true is Walter’s dream of investing in a liquor store. Willy Harris flees the area with the money they were going to use for the liquor store and school money. Something bad and something good happens also, but it does not work out the way they would’ve liked it to.

In the poem “Dreams at Night” there is a dream that does not come true. A dream does also not come true in the play. Walter has a dream to invest in a liquor store. When this was almost set and according to plan Bobo comes to Walter to tell him that Willy Harris stole the money. This is a very tragic time for the Younger family because there were six thousand five hundred dollars to be invested, Three thousand being for Bennie’s education. Despite this terrible happening the Younger family still decides to move into the new house.

Dreams At Night- I believe that this poem is talking about how when we sleep we remember our true dreams and passions and that they can not be forgotten. We can not shove our dreams to the back of our minds otherwise we will not pursue those dreams. Just like in the Raisin in the Sun when mama doesnt give up her dream of finally owning her own home someday. Walter also just wont give up his dream to start the Liquor store and at least he is fighting for his ambitions. The Poem also talks about dreams that need to be revived or reset so that we can reach these goals and dreams that we set for ourselves.

The first poem is very strong in a way that it speaks the truth about how your dreams can be lost, for who knows what reason. And some forgotten because of different things come up in life. And others are worked extremely hard for. Which is very true because life is not always planned around your dreams because we don’t know our future. But we know that when we want something we work for it and will do anything to get no matter if it takes us our whole life.

“The Fate of Dreams” is clearly written about “A Raisin in the Sun” becasue it relates to it so well. The poem talks about the different results of dreams. The story is all about dreams, whether its Walter and his liquor business or Mama and her dream to have a house and family.

How do dreams
Make it through
Alive?
Sometimes they don’t,
Twisted and lost
by the stresses of life.

We are seeing that the dream of Walter being in the liquor business isn’t going to come true because the money he gave to his friends to invest is gone. That also ruins Beneatha’s dream of becoming a doctor because Walter gave them her money also.

Sometimes they become
an obsession,
and the dreamer
destroys himself.

I think Walter destroyed himself by putting all of his hope in the liquor business and letting it become an obsession. He made bad choices like wasting money by drinking and coming home drunk because he was so confident that he was going to make a living off of liquor. When that fell through he had nothing.

Overall, so far this book has been about the dreams of the characters and how they have not come true. The poem does a great job of illustrating how that happens.

I will interpret Eric and Brian’s poem, “The Fate of Dreams”.

This is a great poem hands down. Just reading this poem about dreams can create a great picture of “Raisin in The Sun”. These people all want the American Dream but this fails many times over and over again throughout their lives. This poem is saying that fail or succeed your dream, stand strong and battle through the hard times of trying to accomplish this dream. We may not have much control over dreams but when you do you need to take advantage of it and fight for your loved dream.

is it a dream or is it real?
the way days go by, we will never really know.
There’s heartache tied in with moments that make us most proud.
thinking the one that is closest to you is in fact your true believer,
things change and dreams do come true.
that is only if people believe in you.
but dreams do come true.
There are people who stand alone and yet it seems that everything goes their way.
then theres those who are stuck in a situation that seems to be a nightmare.
but dreams do come true.

Relate the poems to “A Raisin in the Sun”

The poem “The Fate of Dreams” relates to Walter and Mama and their many dreams. The poem talks about how sometimes dreams become stresses in life. Walters dreams of getting his family out of poverty have become a huge stress in his life and started to have an effect on him in ways where he drinks the stresses away or gets in fights with Ruth all the time. The poem also states how sometimes dreams become obsessions and how the dreamer destroys himself. Walter obsesses over his dream of owning a business and starts to make that his number one priority. He wants to use Mama’s money to invest in it, and is turned down by her but that does not stop his great obsession. When Mama tells him to take the left over money and put it in the bank for Bennie and the family, he turns around and puts the money towards the business and ends up lossing it all. When the poem talks about how sometimes dreams still stand and are pursued, it relates to Mama. She has always dreamed of buying a house with her family where she can have a garden and her own yard for kids to play in. She never stopped trying to pursure that dream and when she finally gets the money, $10,000, she goes and pursues that dream. She buys a house that has room for a garden and for Travis to play. “A Rasin in the Sun” relates to this poem in so many ways because this book shows lifes ups and downs and twists and turns. It shows how dreams make it out alive.

The poem “Dreams at Night” relates to “A Rasin in the Sun” because this poem talks about how theres always a great dream in the back of your mind always sitting there, waiting to be pursued and when you start to have doubts on that dream, day by day that dream starts to disappear and becomes lost in time. A lot of the dreams the Youngers have went through this same process. They were living in poverty and poor conditions. There was very little hope for things to turn around and become better for them. Ruth for example starts to lose faith in the dreams of the “check” comming. Many of the family’s dreams grew dimmer day by day as things started to look worse for them. When they kept hearing about others bombing the houses of blacks, their dreams of living in a house peacefully were clouded up, no longer having that “perfect dream” sense due to the hate and despair of others towards blacks. This poem shows how you can’t let your dreams disappear because if you do you will lose them forever.

So Many things to think about
So much stuff to do
Everyone following there dream just as much as you
but only 1 in a million will make it thats what people say
so they put your dream down anyway
what will you do?
will you work harder at what you love to do
or will you let people make a joke of you
as people fail to see that we can do anything through Jesus Christ
so that 1 in a million could be you
take a while to think of how life became this way
Is it because of God or your own sinful way

When life tears you down
And you’ve given it all
People just give you a frown
You gotta get back on the ball

Pummeled into lumps
You’ve been beat
Your down in the dumps
Left in the street

You gotta get up
Gotta keep moving
People ain’t sorry Pup
You just gotta keep improving

Nothing’s been given
Its something you’ll learn
You gotta be driven
Something you gotta earn

“The Dream Effect”

Dreams come and dreams go

They affect who you are, and who you’ll become

Life writes it’s path through the dreams of one person-

and affect the dreams of others, whether they like it or not.

It’s their job to embrace these dreams and put them to work

It’s accepting that whether the outcome is positive or negative, it’s another life’s lesson to be learned.

A dream will falter, a dream will fade-

but it won’t go away-
just get put away until it’s ready to be put into action once more

It can swarm you and overwhelm you-
or it can be overcome like pain

but through time and inevitability-
every dream is achievable

“Suicide Dream” by Jared Love

Picture your dream,

There it is….

It is so close you could touch it or hop right on,

But still the dream is so far away,

Dreams are deceiving.

A dream is like an old bus,

It only has problems and cost money to tender.

Now picture yourself attacking this dream,

The world begins revolving around you,

But nobody pays the attention to you reaching your dream,

The confidence you once had is deteriorating along with genuine thoughts towards others

The dream is making an unscheduled stop to panic town

Here you’re a crazy person going out of your way to cause fear, fear towards others,

But not on purpose,

you’re being driven by the bus.

The bus crashed.

The dream is dead,

Now are you dead?

Instead of you conquering your dream,

Your dream has conquered you.

—————————————
Schroty I hope you’re able to interpet this peom. If you do it makes so much sense….

A dream.
A dream can be anything.
It can be everything,
Or it can be nothing.
It could mean the world to someone
Or it could be useless thoughts in one’s mind.
It could be inspiration,
Or it could be disillusion.
It could save someone,
Or it could destroy.
It could become reality,
Or forever remain a dream.
The future of these dreams
Lies in the hands of the dreamer.
But if you catch someone’s dream
You could catch their world, their hope.
You could catch everything
Or nothing.

in addition to my other post…

“The Fate of Dreams”
when the dream is finally recognized it is a great feeling and such a positive experience. being able to accomplish something of that magnitude shows a much determination and strength.

“Dreams at Night”
As the dream is just waiting and laying dormant it accumulates more and more hardships and becomes more difficult to reach.

This first poem is a beautiful poem, the Title The Fate of Dreams very much describes the content of the poem. When you think of the fate of dream, you think of will it ether succeed or will it fail. Like in line 5 “How do Dream’s make it through alive?” This poem seems to convey the image of the poem at the beginning of this book. where it talked about dreams. This whole book is about dreams and how they can explode, like for example the chapter we just read about the money that they thought they had invested was taken by that guy and he just ran. This poem also talks about realizing your dreams. Or the dream becoming an obsession. Walter let his dream become an obsession and it ended up consuming him, and his money.

Now the second poem talks about the revival of dreams that we file away in the back of our minds. “Darkened in the back of our minds, revived in time.” That if our dreams don’t become successful or they fail at them we hide them away. We hide them in hopes we will find a new dream we can achieve. The human nature is to not to want to fail. We as humans hate failure, and the consequences it brings upon the bearer of the failure. If you fail at your dream however this is worse tan everyday tasks. Dreams are the most important of human possessions. We hold them dear to us. They are what we work for. Try for. Fight for. Die for. The dream that we can all live together one nation under god, all free no matter the sex, race, preference, or any of that. We are all under that dream. We fight for that dream. Walter is one of the many of americans that have a personal dream, and a bigger dream like I just described. THese are what dreams are. They are like invisible gold that we store in the fort knox called our mind. If a dream is shattered or broken, we are shattered and broken as well. We are in a weird way linked to our dreams. We hope they come true in order for us to become whatever we want to be.

This is what dreams are. They hold the power to pull people together or tear them apart. Make them happy or make them sad. This is what a dream is. We all have had them, we all hold them. But what we do with them that truly determines how much determination we have as humans…

Use my second post.

I am going to interpret the first poem which is “The Fate of Dreams” by Brian Wood

The first poem is saying that when life is good or bad, how can dreams survive? If your having a tough time, and things aren’t going your way dreams that you have will stay your dream but it is a wonder how. Sometimes dreams do not survive. Sometimes when life gets rough, it affects your dreams that will either change your dreams and goals or you will just forget about your dream. If somebody is under a lot of stress striving for their dream, they may just give it up, throw in the towel. In some cases a person gets too wrapped up in pursuing their dream that it becomes too much and will hurt the person instead of the dream. If you get too involved in pursuing your dream and all you do is work towards that dream, it may hurt you in the end. For instance, if you are pursuing a lifelong dream of being in the NFL and thats all you do, your family life, money security, and self well-being will all deteriorate. In some cases, a persons dream is still alive but you never fight for it or strive towards it and it is simply an idol dream. Your life then will also just stay idol and you don’t even know it is. Then there is some very special cases where a person’s dream is kept alive by their pursuit and their strive that is enought o accomplish it. They know what they need to do to accomplish it without ignoring it, without being obsessed by it, without letting it drift away into total darkness. Only very few times when dreams are still in the light of hope and when the person is trying to accomplish it, the dream is finally reached. It comes out from nowhere and is finally a dream that is satisfied by the persistance and rough times its been through, but has faught through all of it to come out STRONG and HEALTHY.

i am interparting “Dreams at Night”

it is talking about dreams that you may have forgotten about but my be brought back into the present by various triggers. and then it talks about how a child could easly Make that dream come true. then it talks about how while your sleeping you true dreams and hopes in life are comeing true. then it talks about how that your heart is into your dreams but the every day the dream becomes un accomplished you think less and less of it and it talks about how cloud are imparing on that perfect dream much like a cloud on a sunny day, but time will never fully erase your dream.

The greatest dreams, by Austin Timyan

Life is just a dream,
to suceed
to be accepted
to leave your mark
and to accomplish greatness.
The dreams that set the
mark between a normal man
and an exceptional man
are those which seem out of reach.
Lofty goals must be set
if lofty goals are to be reached
failed attemts must be weathered
for the sake of the ultimate goal.
The greatest dreams
are your own,
the ones that nobody but
yourself can see
and the ones nobody slse
can achieve.

——”Dreams Have Wings”

Soaring through the air unteathered
feeling as light as a glistening feather
flying high flying high flying higher than the sky
a burning desire beneath my breast
not human but archaic as of times past
a desire to satisfy my wants and needs
i fall but never hit the groung
my desires are subdued but never forgotten
like a flickering candle
dreams dim but never go out
dreams are the eternal flame that drives the world
Dreams

Poem Numero Uno, talks about how, in times of trouble and times of joy, your dreams still remain. Dreams are never lost but simply given up. you may give up on a dream when troubled times come upon you but if your dream is strong enough, it will perservire and stay with you. The bad times will make you and your dream strong and easier to achive.

Poem Numero Dos, tells about how dream are not forgoten. They are put into hibernation “in the back of your mind” and “awaits to be revived”. When i read this poem i realized how true it is. i have never givin up a dream in my life and it is because i never forget them. there are many ways to rivive your dreams. whether it was while you were sleeping. or even a child reminding you of your old dreams

p.s. I know this might be late but i couldnt find it before. turns out it was right in my face :-/

“Fate of Dreams”:

This poem relates to Walter’s dream in A Raisin in the Sun because Walter’s dream to use the insurance money to invest in something became an obsession to him. He became obsessed with the idea because in his past, he turned down an investment that would have earned him a great deal of money, and he does not want to make the same mistake twice. His determination starts to destroy him, like said in the poem. The end of the poem also relates to Mama’s dream to own a house. This is because her dream is to own a house. With the insurance money, she does buy one for the Younger family to live in. Her dream came out healthy and strong because she pressed herself to buy the house. She had some difficulties along the way, but she overcame them.

“Dreams at Night”

This poem is talking about the kinds of barriers that might effect someone from reaching their goals. These barriers are always in the back of the dreamers mind, discouraging the dreamer. But these barriers also push the dreamer, motivating them to strive for their goals because when you reach your goal, it feels great to prove people/barriers wrong.
