I dreamed in double.


A Dream Within a Dream


          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 of the golden sand-
          How few! yet how they creep
          Through 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 Allan Poe 

I had a dream within a dream last night.
It confused me quite a bit and 
I don't know what to make of dreaming of something 
and then dreaming of that same thing coming true, 
while in that current dream
you recall your past dream of dreaming about that current dream as if 
it is actually happening
and then waking up and not knowing what is real.
 
What a mind bending experience!
