Question

Why was the poet came twice awake?
['our own true family' poem]

Answer 1

The poet in "Our Own True Family" by Ted Hughes went to search for a stag in an oakwood.

There he met a weak old lady who was "all knobbly stick and rag" with a little bag. She put spell on the poet by opening the bag and magically putting him to sleep. He started dreaming and thus came twice awake.
