There's the well-known story that the entire poem "Kubla Khan" came to Coleridge in a dream. When he woke up he was feverishly writing it down when he was interrupted by the visit of "a man from Porlock" on business. When he'd dismissed the wretch and returned to his writing table, Coleridge discovered that the rest of the poem had flown from his mind and all we have left is the fragment he managed to get down.

Ahhh so THIS is where everyone went!

Thanks Argus.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Kubla Khan
OR, A VISION IN A DREAM.
A FRAGMENT.
Coleridge's published note and another note on its composition

---

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man

Down to a sunless sea.

So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round :
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh ! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover !
A savage place ! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover !
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced :
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail :
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean :
And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war !


The shadow of the dome of pleasure
Floated midway on the waves ;
Where was heard the mingled measure
From the fountain and the caves.

It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice !
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw :
It was an Abyssinian maid,
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight 'twould win me,

That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome ! those caves of ice !
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware ! Beware !
His flashing eyes, his floating hair !
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread,
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.

My daughter has dreams that come true. She hasn't had one for a while, but one of them was particularly troubling. Normally the dreams are just things like her brother is going to get a speeding ticket on a particular bridge, or her sister has had a fender bender was afraid to tell us. One dream however, was about a little girl that was locked in an attic. She had this repeating dream for over a year and then oned day she came down and said that she didn't think that she would be having the dream anymore because the people in the dream house were moving and they let the little girl out of the attic and cleaned it out. About a month later, the people that she works for as a nanny moved into a new house and my daughter called me the first day of work and said that she had found the attic that was in her dream.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.....
