Dreams: A base for life's will and way

Hey, are you dreaming?

Dreaming, it might give you a different sense of a characteristic. Dreaming is not only what we see when we are asleep. Here, I do mean by dreams is our ambitions in life when aspirations are not yet achieved, they still remain dreams.

Those dreams you might not see in your slumber. But will work in your mind day and night. No one in the world is left without a dream - an ambition in life. Even a beggar dreams for a better life, comfortable abode and food on time.

Poor people have bigger dreams. W.B.Yeats, a famous poet wrote in his collection of poetry, The clothes of heaven, " I, being poor, have only my dreams". It means that the greatest asset that a poor person can possess is dreams.

If someone says "I have no dreams in my life". It can never be the truth. Because " existence would be intolerable if we were never to dream" - Anatole France. There's no direction in your life if you don't have dreams in life. You will be stranded in life without having no plans. Don't you at least dream for a better tomorrow?

Talk to little children, ask them what their dreams are. They will come out with loads of dreams. They will haughtily say,"My dream is to be a pilot, I want to be a scientist, I dream to be a singer and actor and so and so forth. Little children's world is filled with fantasy. They also dream to go on a trip to Disney Land and play with imaginary disney characters. They too try to make their dreams come true. That is why they like to keep dinky toys with them.

Do you remember what you dreamt of when you were a little child? I still remember what my dreams were. I have had some crazy dreams as well, which I haven't been able to make a reality. You may not always dream of perfect things. You might also dream of some weird things. No matter, as long as you can achieve them.

Only through dreaming, you can assess your future requirements. If you just wait without envisioning the future as to what you want to be, remember things will not come in the form of a grant.

You have to dream of your future, to put it in place. Your dreams act as motivators in achieving quality of life. For example, if you don't have a proper house to live in, and when you dream of a beautiful house, it drives you to build a beautiful house.

You should follow up your dreams till they come true. someone said "the best way to make your dream come true is to wake up". Say, for example, you want to become a singer. The mere wishful thinking won't help you to become a singer.

You have to dream of becoming a singer. Then only you will get going, I mean you will make necessary arrangements to become what you want to be. When you have the desire you have to always pump your thoughts to achieve it. If you need to be a singer, when you dream about it, as I said earlier those thoughts will act as motivators. Then you will have an urge of making the dream come true. Then you will go for lessons to study music, you will follow courses to improve your voice and so on. When you dream it will provide a good motivation and inspiration.

Though some people have dreams they don't envision them. They don't often dream about what they want. It will later kill the desire in them of becoming someone they want to be.

Dream of big things, it will take you to where you want to go.
