Sweeter Dreams, Please!

My 5th sessions with at 2nd graders was filled with reading and storytelling around the subject of dreams, including: weird, funny, or magical sleeping dreams; nightmares, and daydreams. We also noticed a relationship between wishes, and dreams. It was frightening to hear some students’ nightmares, but they did a fine job writing about them. Enjoy the following Dream Poems!

Ms. Urquiza 2nd Grade

Anjila K.

I dream that I can read a billion books.
Once I had a nightmare that zombies chased me.

I dream that I was the favorite child.
My nightmare was being dead.

I dream that I can eat all the sweets.
My nightmare was losing all my books.

I dream that I had a pet bunny.
My nightmare was being eaten.

I dream to be a doctor.
My nightmare was my family being gone.

My Nightmare Aarav C.

It was midnight in my
nightmare
I was in a haunted home
The ghost was covering her
face with her hair
Her name was Granny
A very old woman
The ghost attacked me.

Silly Dreams Shradha N.

I dream I can fly.
I dream there is a rainbow all the time.

were at the back of his head.

Trapped in a Room Mishika S.

In my dream I was trapped in a room.
It was scary like bloody mary.
The wall was getting smaller like it
was about to crush me.
The floor broke and I fell
into another room.
I heard voices saying “I’m coming for you.”
Then I heard a scream “Ahhhh”

Scary Dream! Alone in the dark! Alana S.

In my dream I was alone in the dark
in a room with nobody home. So I waited
for hours. And nobody was still home!
I tried to open the door
It was unlocked. But then it locked
by itself! The lock inside was not working!

And I heard something
not the door opening
the window was
but I swear it was locked. I heard footsteps
I hid under the bed
I whispered “It’s too quiet.”
The room was shaking
I felt like the room was shifting!

that would never stop.
