FIRST IMPRESSION OF A DREAM

While reading "A Dream Within a Dream" I didn't quite understand it so I had to reread it a couple of times for me to understand. What I understood from this is that the sand that is getting away is like time and how time passes quickly it shows how at the end of our lives we may think of life as a dream. Our life may be great, sad, bad, or confusing, but in the end it will all seem like it went by too fast like how a dream does. This poem makes me feel like I should be doing more exciting things, things that make me happy, not wasting my time of unnecessary things. I want my life to end with me knowing that I did something to impact the world or peoples lives positively.
