The Dream Repository

The form of parable chosen by Milton for the epic poem is the dream. This would intensify the likelihood even more, that contemporary opposition would read it as simply an artistic use of fantasy and not tend to give it much thought as anything serious.

More importantly, though, the form of the poem is also the resource. Milton states very plainly and directly in Paradise Lost, Book IX, that he has a specific muse, or mediumistic resource, a spiritual being who communicated to him while he slept. So it was also in dream, that he was given the information from which to also create a dream story line, complete with "fantasy" and, therefore, an acceptable "reality" for Church authorities. In other words, who would take seriously the concept of "an angel dictating personally in a dream?" After all, "Only the Bible, the word of God outlines clearly who God speaks to, nothing more, nothing less could be true." (Wouldn't this make a great film today—the concept of an angel dictating God's law, where people find that, indeed, there is more than what the world thought of God and Nature…. Oh, that film has already been done a number of times.)

20. "If answerable style I can obta
21. Of my Celestial Patroness, who deigns
22. Her nightly visitation unimplor'd,
23. And dictates to me slumbering; or inspires
24. Easy my unpremeditated verse:
25. Since first this subject for heroick song
26. Pleas'd me long choosing, and beginning late;...
39. The skill of artifice or office mean,
40. Not that which justly gives heroick name
41. To person, or to poem. Me, of these
42. Nor skill'd nor studious, higher argument
43. Remains; sufficient of itself to raise
44. That name, unless an age too late, or cold
45. Climate, or years, damp my intended wing
46. Depress'd; and much they may, if all be mine,
47. Not hers, who brings it nightly to my ear."

—Book IX The Dream Repository idea:

Scholars and students still debate whether the poem was simply jotted down with little or no editing or original design. This author would suggest that the epic in the final cut was arrived at with a combination of both, only over a longer duration of time than one or two "dreams." However the resource is just the same as for many magical inventions and ideas that have been arrived at in dream and "daydreams," and have been well documented throughout history.

dream style

This term has been a small but circulating term that represents the accomplishments or accusations of popular Minecraft speed runner Dream, who has made world records, was accused of cheating, and continued to respond to the accusations by making a extremely long video debunking the math made against him.

1. To accomplish or extraordinarily complete something, whether it be in a game or in real life.

2. To cheat or work around something in a game or real life

3. To make a long essay or video explaining something or someone.

Covivid dreams

While asleep, fully experiencing the life we miss, during the covid-19 pandemic.

In the sunlight, he was walking freely among other people, everyone smiling at each other, holding hands. A woman approached him, oh my God, she was so beautiful, and she looked into his eyes and kissed him. - These were his Covivid dreams, every night, and he found them thrilling.

Dream Theater

The best fucking band in the world. Period.

... Forsaken in The Dark Eternal Night with my Endless Sacrifice to a Dance Of Eternity. I will rise Another Day to be In The Presence of Enemies, and then Lie to You Not Me. I' Burning My Soul in Hell's Kitchen while begging In The Name Of God to Just Let Me Breathe and Take Away My Pain. If you try to Pull Me Under, I will Raise The Knife and make you The Root Of All Evil. As I Am like Perfect Strangers to you, I will give you a Goodnight Kiss before you Disappear and get somebody to to see Through My Words .. because It's Only A Matter Of Time before I end up Beyond This Life just like A Fatal Tragedy with a Strange Deja Vu. Take a look at yourself .. in The Mirror. That's Dream Theater.

One Dream

to fully live the one dream you have to:

A) become the greatest footballer to grace the beautiful game of futbol

B) captain your country to fifa world cup supremacy

C) wear a track suit at all times, except for when playing football for your club or international club

I found my passion for footballing after my parents disowned me and I went out in a single streetlight kicking a football against a brickwall. It all led up to me captaining my country, Mexico, to the Fifa world cup..when the celebrations are over i am walking off the pitch in Soccer city johannesburg, while wearing my track suit and spiked hair and a single mexican child comes up and asks for my autograph... oh oh oh ohoh...
