What do you dream?

During our 5th meetings, Swift 2nd and 3rd graders considered all sorts of dreams:  falling dreams, daydreams, realistic sleeping dreams, nightmares, weird dreams, and inventive dreams. I shared the book, Dare to Dream Big by Lorna Gutierrez, and then we read Carole Boston Weatherford’s poem “from Which Way to Dreamland?” and wondered why we have the dreams we do? We also talked about how inventions of things such as smartphones, water bottles, and chairs were once “only” dreams!

Dream Poem Anjila N.

I dreamed about things
that are very cool
in a a book.

It made me feel very
excited like a
bursting confetti.

Because we need to
have wonderful
dreams.

The dream about my grandparent Lina

The dream about
my grandma who
died
made me sad

yes it is important
to dream because
you might dream
about your family

I was dreaming about
I was a giant
and people were small
and cars also

I was bigger than the
earth and air
the plants also
and the monster

Dreams about stuff Max

I dream about being chased
I dream about a mystery place.
Last night I woke with a scream
because of my scary bad dream.
I dream about having luck.
I dream about being a peanut butter cup.
That is what I dream about.
what do you dream about?

that is the end of the poem
tell me what you dream about, you know ’em

To see my dad in 2027 Aylin M.

This is a dream I want to come
true
To see my dad
he is going to say
hi Aylin
how are you?
I am going
to hug him.

Dreams, nightmares Alinur S.

I dreamed about falling off a cliff
but surviving it but then I see a
bear. then I die (bruh)

I dreamed about seeing a
tsunami but then I fly. (what?)

I dreamed bout falling out of
nowhere. (eek)

I was in a car and then
driving into a black hole (what happened?)

Dream Poem Eloisa

I dream that people have a
good life.

Dreams are important because
they help you nap good or get
back to different memories.

I dream that every state
or country don’t have
tornadoes or hurricanes, to make
people safe.

Dream Poem Nicole B.

I dreamed that I was an artist
and that I was drawing something
I was drawing a pretty bird
it is colorful
it was green and blue and yellow
and I put some shadows.

I dreamed about
that I was gonna win at the gym
because there is like a race to see
who is the fastest so I win.

I dreamed about
that I was falling off a cliff and I
end up in my bed.

Dream Poem Leah L.

I dreamed that I was a gymnast
and that I was doing a back flip

then that I was with my mom

and I was on stage and that I
fell down the stage in front of people

and that I was in the hospital
and that my mom was there

and that my leg broke and my
head was bleeding and that
I was a little bit passing out.

Ishan B.

I had a dream about
when I was in a cloud and the cloud
started to rain.
Then I almost fell but the cloud saved
me.
I felt so much rain rushing to my
mouth.  I felt so much pressure but

the rain stopped,
right when I just snapped my finger.
Then I was so happy.

Aliya A.

I dream I was sleeping
and a bear was in my dream
when I was in my home. and
I wake up and I see water
was green and I think to go
to my mom and dad but they
were not there so I
was coughing.
I go to my sister’s room
and she was not there
I see EXIT
I wake up and
cry in my bed.
my mom wakes me up
and I go to school.

 

 

A'aliyah J.

I had a dream
a scary dream!
A dream about
my teacher and friends
They were scary, weird, and ugly
It felt real
Mr Ciccone was
possessed
the kids were also
possessed
I was just trying to survive
I ran down the hall
got in an elevator but the kids
got in
I ran up high into the compartment
center
but fell and got caught.

 

Pranav P.

When I had a dream
I dreamed of when
I fell on the stairs
but when I woke up
I was shocked
I thought I fell on the stairs
but I was safe.

I went back to sleep.
I dreamed a lot and I was panicking
that I had that dream like last time
then I never had that dream again
in my entire life
