Falling, falling...
before I hit the ground
it's morning.
About Masago
- Masago
- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
- From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

1088. Expecting
Falling, falling...
before I hit the ground
it's morning.
Link with 1087: Expecting.
[I've had this dream experience at least a couple of times in my life. The inspiration, though, for this haiku was partly inspired by the following by Iida Dakotsu:
Before my eyes
a hollyhock; on it a snake,
I wake from a nap.
From Modern Japanese Haiku, An Anthology by Makoto Ueda, p. 110.]
I have a similar dream
My third line would be
JERK AWAKE
i like this
(my problem is that i hit the ground before morning - at least it's not a fatal fall) :)
interesting...
good one
If a dream occurs three time, it surely is one to be considered carefully, some say!?:) A falling dream is still a dream!:)
yes, i know the feeling... only it sometimes happens in the middle of the night
Pamela: *LOL* In the next dream you may be assisting in pushing JERK off the cliff. ;-)
Floots: THUMP! So much for the theory that people die who actually hit the ground in such dreams. :-)
Andrew: :)
John: Thanks.
Borut: Hmmm. What do you suppose it means?
Polona: Now that you mention it, I think I actually experienced this when having naps (like Iida's haiku).
I find it auspicious!?:) You'll 'wake up' before falling down!:) There is a book in Arabic - the precursor of Robinson Crusoe, called The Journey of the Soul. The hero's name Hayy bin Yaqzan (or something) translates as ... Son of the Awake...!?:)
Never had the falling one, but running around in my underwear several times. Sad thing is I always wake up before anyone else gets undressed.
I had the dream often years ago
but no more.
Borut: Interesting. Can you read Arabic too?
Pat: *LOL* I have had that sort of dream too!
Hazel: Thanks. I'm not sure what that means...
