I think everyone has his first love or first dream,but it didn't come to
you as expect.so we might sign of it and look for a new one.i think feeling
bad of loss means you can take good care of what you own and what you will
own.i don't think everything you want you can grasp,so treasure the things
you have,and you are rich.

The poem is really great at all.Actually I have already memorized some
lines on this certain poem.. I salute the ever greatest poet, Edgar Allan
Poe... Salamat sa pagiging inspirasyon para sa aming Pilipino.

PS: This poem was written in 1827 and Poe was born in 1809 so he was only
18. He was very physically fit and described as egotistical by some. So the
theory of this poem being about him trying to hang on to a life slipping by
seems premature. It's true he was forced to leave his first true love
around this time. She soon gave up on writing to him after they seperated
and married another. Hence her love was but a dream. But he made the poem
very in general on purpose. He knew it had a universal meaning. Yes all
your theories are right but none of them are wide enough to encompass the
whole poem. He's saying everything is really a dream and our own projected
idea of everything is but another dream within that dream.

The poem takes place (Hypothetically) after his death as he stands on the
shore between here and the here-after. "kiss upon the brow" means take this
little piece of wisdom. He's probably speaking to just plain old us. What
does dream within a dream mean?
Imagine someone wants to be famous. That's thier dream.
They then discover that fame was an illusion, that it slipped away like
sand in your hand. Then fame itself was but a dream, an illusion. Hence
they're dreaming of a dream. Fame then is a dream within a dream. This can
be attached to endless other subjects besides fame.
ie. Money, love, art etc. It's possible he may have been thinking in
quantum physics a lifetime before the science was born.

maybe the poem is about him leaving his lover because he is doesnt want her
to go through what he is going through. He questions lifes reality and why
cant he save life from slipping away
