it was just fear and excitement saturated in dream

articulate and sensible at the time.

recited it in my head last night hoping I could regurgitate the events

but its too far from present.

left with residual emotion

and not enough room in my noose tied to a dream

to think of anything more than a poem written in prose

This poem has such a dreamlike quality to it, which fits, since you reference dreams throughout it. The last two lines struck me the most, because the imagery is so intense:"not enough room in my noose".
