I Continue to Dream
I Continue to Dream - fact Summary
Dreams as Artistic Practice
The speaker describes turning personal dreams into concrete works of art—vases, fountains, statues, and songs—then asks whether the listener understands. The poem notes mixed responses but insists that others’ approval is irrelevant. It frames dreaming as a persistent creative act and an assertion of artistic identity. The final line affirms continuation of that imaginative labor despite misunderstanding or indifference.
Read Complete AnalysesI take my dreams and make of them a bronze vase and a round fountain with a beautiful statue in its center. And a song with a broken heart and I ask you: Do you understand my dreams? Sometimes you say you do, And sometimes you say you don't. Either way it doesn't matter. I continue to dream.
