Lover's Gifts XXVIII: I Dreamt

I dreamt that she sat by my head, tenderly ruffling my hair with
her fingers, playing the melody of her touch. I looked at her face
and struggled with my tears, till the agony of unspoken words burst
my sleep like a bubble.
    I sat up and saw the glow of the Milky Way above my window,
like a world of silence on fire, and I wondered if at this moment
she had a dream that rhymed with mine.

    Sweet Derams

    this is a sweet dream , a love dream, I think its original version is in Bangali Language.the last line of the above piece is a bit confusing,"I wondered if at this moment
    she had a dream that rhymed with mine."
    The term Rhymed here used but I dont know what he actualy wated to say?
    well, Tagore is a great poet and Noble literate so it is not always easy to understand him fully.
