Sleep Is Supposed To Be
'Sleep Is Supposed To Be' Summary
"Sleep Is Supposed To Be" is a poem by Emily Dickinson that explores the nature of sleep and dreams. The poem begins with the speaker describing sleep as a time of peace and tranquility, a time when we are free from the cares of the world. However, the speaker also suggests that sleep is a time of mystery and uncertainty, a time when we are not fully aware of ourselves or our surroundings. The poem ends with the speaker wondering what happens to us when we sleep, and whether we are truly conscious of our own existence during that time.Book Details
