Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow -
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away,
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
grains fo the golden sand -
How few! yet how they creep
Throught my fingers to the deep,
While I weep - while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
Edgar A. Poe
This is one of my favorites. I'm glad you gave me an excuse to share it with you!

Life is a boat, beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July...
I'm not Lewis Carroll but hope I answered adequately.
The man is truly dreaming when he wakes and waking up when he dreams...
Alas to the Carpetners though :)

Life is a dream but when we wake up I think it may be a nightmare.
Let's hope not.

Hopefully, for the majority of people, life is a long wonderful dream; and the wake-up calls are bathroom breaks, enabling us to continue back to our pleasant endeavors(dreams)......

Honey, did you get into the hard thinking cabinet of Christmas cheer tonight?
Dreams are magical things that if you're lucky you can carry with you into your waking life.

this is a good thought. Never thought of this before. Now it makes me wonder if when we dream in our sleep is that what we are wishing for in the next life?
Merry christmas
