What does this poem mean to you?
"Horrors" by Lewis Carroll
Methought I walked a dismal place
Dim horrors all around;
The air was thick with many a face,
And black as night the ground.
I saw a monster come with speed,
Its face of grimmliest green,
On human beings used to feed,
Most dreadful to be seen.
I could not speak, I could not fly,
I fell down in that place,
I saw the monster's horrid eye
Come leering in my face!
Amidst my scarcely-stifled groans,
Amidst my moanings deep,
I heard a voice, "Wake! Mr. Jones,
You're screaming in your sleep!"

I'm thinking it's a nightmare, judging by the last 2 lines. Also it's dark and scary like a nightmare.
"I could not speak, I could not fly,
I fell down in that place"
Often in nightmares you can't call out for help, and many nightmares involve falling downward.
it could be deeper than just a nightmare, though. that's just the image i got :D

Maybe its just me but i think its about jealousy and envy being the "lil green monster".
