Dreams

Right from every person’s understanding of the existence of two kinds of dreams to the interpretation and explication of them, my heart is fairly oblique to the obvious fact that any kind of dream gets everybody astonished, and that astonishment has got me to write this. The two kinds of dreams are of course the one seen when we are asleep and the one imagined in consciousness.

It is not of much concern to me what is dreamt in sleep - it may be an interesting topic all together but it depends on the individual who prefers taking it on with more interesting construal; I happen to take these dreams as an entertainment to me sometimes apart from some amazing ideas I get from them. Otherwise they mean nothing at all.

Every human has some hopes, some wishes and some dreams. Hopes and wishes are usually the lighter forms of dreaming where nothing much is expected out of them. But the dreams – they make the soul take part in a quest for cosmic significance. A dream is like a force in the universe that puts fresh energy back into the system.

Why do we dream? Probably because we feel nice by doing that. Or maybe because of our longing for more comforts in our lives. Or perhaps it is just in the nature of humans to dream. But it can be much better understood as a source that drives people towards success. People are considered successful when they accomplish dreams – of their own and of others. So dreams are probably dreamt to further life or to quench the thirst of the vacuum that is created when we don’t have anything worthwhile in our lives.

We are here today in this modern era for only one reason: because great people in the past have had great dreams which they did accomplish. It was not just in the past that people had great dreams; in the present day too there are innumerable scientists and researchers who constantly dream big and achieve the impossible. It all starts with a small imagination that gets converted into a dream. And this tiny dream becomes the only purpose of life for these people – they live for it and live up to it; successfully.

A true dream is a hope. It is the energy that makes living out of survival. Having a fire in the belly to achieve what has been dreamt is the only way that takes us there – to the apex of our life.

Everyone wants to be successful, have the best in his/her life and have all the desires fulfilled. Seldom are people found victorious in getting what they want. Why does this happen? Why do people fail? Who is to be blamed for the failure people see in getting their dreams fulfilled?

A dream must be an emotional energy – that which comes out from the inside, something undefined yet our own. The dream must be an offshoot of our psychological embodiments that casts a vision – a vision close to our heart, a recreation of our inner strengths in the form of a power that would drive us to a desired end, and a hope that keeps the soul running. The dream must create a fire in our belly. Only that kind of determination can get us to a triumph. Most of us lack this emotional energy, hence the lack of determination and lack of ‘fire in the belly’.

Without fire in the belly, a dream is impossible – it is nothing more than just wishful thinking. When we feel truly passionate about something then we are in dream territory. The right dream drops passion in our guts. It begins from that passion.

Sometimes it dies away. The basic reason is lack of confidence on ones own self. This again is an indication of missing fire in the belly. But sometimes it is because of our background and environment that we fall back from accomplishing our dreams. Even the people who pour in negative material into our ears are a junk that causes only destruction. But we only need one person who believes in us to make the dream a reality. To start with it is better that we are that person ourselves.

People cannot see what we can see, so it’s better that we don’t try to make them see our dream. If they don’t like our dream, it means that they have never learnt to dream anything. Having a dream won’t be easy – nobody will love us more because we see what they don’t.

There are times when we don’t have proper dreams or proper ambitions. This can be because of the same reason why we fail to accomplish our dreams. But we should realize the importance of dreaming; it is the small spark that lights up the fire that gives light to our life. Getting a dream means being unafraid to get emotional: to get to those places where our true feelings and gut urges hide. Too many people are afraid of their feelings and they end up living a tragic lie.

A dream when decided to be pursued becomes a goal when its exact date of accomplishment is written with it. Dreams, or goals, can be short term or long term. All are to be given importance but a better planning of short term ones is essential for the success of the long terms’.

There is one point where people fall short of getting to the right objective or goal in their lives – backward goal setting. People set their goals depending on their past experiences and the experiences of others. They are blinded by the forces that say they can’t do what they want to do. They see short of their potentials and are conservative in their approach towards their lives. They cannot see what they can do, instead they believe only in what has already been done and they trust only the existing capacities. Their dreams are the already accomplished dreams by some other people and they are not their original. These kinds of backward goal setters never make a difference in their own lives, let alone others. The accomplishment of a perfect dream should affect at least every person connected to us if not the whole world.

When the proper dream is dreamt, and a good goal set, there is always a price to be paid to see it get transformed into a reality – not a virtual one, in our imaginations, but in physical reality. Sacrifice, discipline, commitment, perseverance, faithfulness, loyalty. delayed gratification. Feeling nauseous yet? These words conjure up mental images of pain, agony and years of frustration in search of a dream. They’re becoming less and less popular especially to the Leisure – Pleasure Generation of today.

We can see dreams and build castles in the air, it is perfectly alright to do that, but to really live in those castles we need to build foundations beneath them. The higher our castle rests, the bigger and larger the foundation we need. We must be clear about our dream, our aims, our willingness to pay the highest price, and our readiness to go through the kind of pain that the average human being avoids.

Discipline is doing it when you don’t want to do it. Discipline means, apart from anything else, having routines: doing the same things all the times. Not the things that unsuccessful people do, but the things unsuccessful people won’t do. Discipline is the chieftain of requirements to see our dreams being fulfilled.

Bigger dreams are seen by visionaries. These people may or may not complete what they start but they do leave behind something more to be done and dreamt. We are not tiny little unimportant creatures in this world – this world is because of us and our existence in it. Our passion has brought us this far and our dreams will take our march further. We may not last in the world for long but our accomplishments do. What will we get being remembered when we are no more? But if we have our dreams successfully accomplished then it is the present life that will adore us and the satisfaction we obtain will surpass all the materialisms.

Negativity is everywhere – the largest part of it is inside us. It is contagious because people are not conscious of their shortcomings. We ought to clear ourselves of this disease of being small and shortsighted. It’s a crime to let our potentials become suppressed under the weight of our narrow views. This world is for the one who lives feeding himself on his own energy and victory, parasites feed on others and live under others. They have no vision and they leave the world unused.

Imagination and creativity is here to stay. Money is paid for ideas. Those who materialize the ideas are nothing but parasites. Those who come out with these ideas are the victors. Ideas, dreams, visions, goals – they all belong to the same kind – the winner’s kind.
