Why Did I Dream of You Last Night? - meaning Summary
Memory Returns with Force
The poem describes a sudden, unsettling resurfacing of memory after dreaming about someone. In the grey morning the speaker wakes and experiences intrusive recollections that hit like blows. Small domestic details—a window, fog, letters—become triggers for pain and recognition of absence. The mood is one of quiet shock and the involuntary return of feelings thought long buried, suggesting how past relationships persist beneath everyday life.

Now morning is pushing back hair with grey light Memories strike home, like slaps in the face; Raised on elbow, I stare at the pale fog beyond the window. So many things I had thought forgotten Return to my mind with stranger pain: - Like letters that arrive addressed to someone Who left the house so many years ago.
