First Impression of a Dream

Mr first impressions on A Dream Within a Dream was confusing at first but soon got the gist of its meaning after reading it slowly over and over again. The first part of the poem seem to describe someones departure from a dream as said in the first 2 lines ,"Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,". The second part seems to describe someone who doesn't want to escape his dream as said,"And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand.". Overall this poem shows a happy end and sad ending to a dream.
