Description
The poem questions the way one can distinguish between reality and fantasy, asking, "Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?". The poem dramatizes a confusion in watching the important things in life slip away. Realizing he cannot hold onto even one grain of sand leads to his final question that all things are a dream.
