The word 'dreams' over a dreamlike landscape

We spend half our lives in the dreamworld, and this week’s contributors visit that rich land:

(already seen)” by Laura Pendell, a haunting poem about dream visits from dead loved ones

Hell Machine” by Mark Joseph Kiewlak, a poem about a disturbing recurring dream 

Fish Feeding Dream” by Michael Estabrook, a poem where pet care takes on a nightly urgency

Frogman” by Jon Pearson, a story that uses dreamlike imagery to get inside a childhood obsession
