A Dream Within A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe

    To me this poem sounds like he is in love but he is too attached and maybe he has never fallen in love like that and thinks its all a dream. Maybe he thinks this is all fake and he is just dreaming that he is in love because everything seems soo perfect for the first time. Happy ending are almost in every movie and in real life happy ending are almost never. When someone is really happy you can tell that they are happy but in this poem he seems confused, lost and and practically giving up on something that seems fake to him just like a dream.
